Changes

ES: It is a period I love and had written about in an earlier book ([[The Sunlight on the Graden Garden: A Family in Love, War and Madness by Elizabeth Speller|Sunlight on the Garden]]) but although I knew the big historical landmarks, researching the tiny points took ages - but was enormous fun! What colours were the trains of different railway companies? How many people had cars? Who wore what underwear? How quickly did a letter arrive? What areas were smart or poor in London? It was, for instance, a big surprise to find that in the early years after the Great War as many people threw parties or went to the races on Armistice day as took part in solemn remembrance.
