Download or read book Sing Us A Song Ma Before We Say Goodbye written by Johnny Slater and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sing Us A Song Ma, Before We Say Goodbye is a lively, vividly rendered and extremely moving memoir of Johnny Slater's childhood in war-torn Liverpool. Written by his daughter Carol, it follows Johnny from the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, right up until his period of National Service from 1954-1956. It tracks the progress of Johnny, his brother Jimmy, sister Cath, Ma, Da, Aunty Julia and his four-legged friends, Punch and Judy - through the devastation of the Liverpool Blitz, their evacuation to a country farm (and the first sight of cows for the children), Johnny's school years, D-Day, first love, and the devastating tragedy that befalls the family during Johnny's time in the army. It is full of detail and colour, painting an exuberant and loving picture of working class life in Kirkdale, on the banks of the Mersey, where life was often hard and money in short supply, but where communities pulled together, family was everything and it only took a chippy dinner or a bonfire to send a small boy into paroxysms of joy. The dialect-driven dialogue creates a rich sense of place, and the characters are full of life and love, so that the untimely death of one of them at the end of the narrative is profoundly moving and tragic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Quite simply, probably the best novel I have read on this subject and one of the best I have read in any field of Historical Fiction.” – Discovering Diamonds review of Home Before the Leaves Fall Summer, 1917. The war in the air over the Western Front becomes ever more deadly. Imperial Germany is surrounded by enemies and, strangled by the Allied blockade, its resources are slowly running out. The war must be won soon, or the nation will go under. Franz Becker, Karl von Leussow and his brother Johnny, and the other members of the squadron fight for their lives against new, better and more numerous Allied aircraft. Their own fighters are flawed and unreliable, there are still no parachutes, and all are haunted by the fear of a fiery death. New pilots, barely out of school, last only a few weeks before being shot down or crashing. The most successful aces receive Prussia’s highest decoration, the coveted Blue Max, but they are deeply aware that their glory is bought with other men’s blood and that their own time is running out. Franz and Karl have been at war for nearly three years, both know more dead men than living ones, and each fight takes them a little closer to the edge. Who will survive?

Surrounded on all sides by plots and treason with the political situation spiralling out of control, Lewis is exiled from court in disgrace.
