Adult Non-Fiction
A collection of oral histories from mid-century rural Kent.
 
Against a back ground of world changing events, rural lives are lived in all their messy, glorious, intimate detail.
 
Hoo’s Who is collection of oral histories producing a rich tapestry of family life, of work, war and justice in an English country community in the first half of the twentieth century.
Interviews with people across all social classes reveal a world in flux: from Land Girls to land mines; Home Guard to Home Farm; teachers, shop keepers, doctors, game keepers, maids and manservants all tell their own stories in honest detail.
Originally published in 2008, from research carried out between 1997 and 1999, this expanded edition features previously unpublished interviews.
From Carnegie nominated author, Kathryn Evans.
