On the outside the Avenue appeared so peaceful but this is a story of turbulent change, of boom and bust, mass unemployment, new freedoms and restrictions, the Blackshirts, and jazz.
Ronald Frederick Delderfield war ein populärer englischer Romanautor und Dramatiker, dessen Werke oft für das Fernsehen adaptiert wurden und bis heute weit verbreitet sind. Seine historischen Romane und Serien verfolgen häufig junge Männer, die aus dem Krieg zurückkehren, und schildern ihr Leben in England, wodurch der Autor den großen Bogen der englischen Geschichte einfangen kann. Durch diese Erzählungen taucht Delderfield tief in die Sozialgeschichte ein und beleuchtet die Zeit von der edwardianischen Ära bis in die frühen 1960er Jahre, wobei er sich auf gesellschaftliche Veränderungen und individuelle Erfahrungen in dieser transformativen Periode konzentriert.
