Book of the Week - Family Britain - Family Favourites

Dominic West reads from David Kynaston's vivid and intimate history of Britain in the 1950s, drawing on the letters, diaries and memories of well-known and ordinary people. Deference, respectability, conformity, restraint and trust - the core values of family and society begin to fray at the edges. Abridged by Jane Greenwood. A Loftus Audio production for BBC Radio 4.
