Anything Goes (The Hopkins Family Saga, Book 6) ebok

As the Hopkins family return home from Africa, more than a few changes are in store... Anything Goes is an evocative tale of life in the 1960s for one Manchester family. Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Dilly Court. It's December 1963 when Billy Hopkins and his wife Laura arrive home in Manchester after five years in Africa. The world has changed beyond recognition: it's the swinging sixties, with headlines full of the Beatles and the pill, LSD and miniskirts. Billy's youngest son still believes in Santa Claus and while his daughter's reading Jackie, she's not even a teenager yet, so Billy's not too worried about the impact of modern society on his family. He's more concerned about the welfare of his increasingly forgetful father and about the daily challenges he faces as a college lecturer. When the four junior Hopkins start to choose their own, unexpected paths in life, though, Billy finds it harder than usual to see the funny side of things... What readers are saying about Anything Goes: 'Billy Hopkins' good humour and personal philosophy of life shine through from first to last''Billy Hopkins succeeds in reeling off a veritable kaleidoscope of personalities, items and artefacts that make the reader feel positively homesick for those vanished days of yesteryear''The style of the books is like life itself, sometimes sad, sometimes funny, but seen through Billy Hopkins's wry humour and perceptive observations it is a delightful good-feel read'
