 >\n<p>Summary:</p>\n<p>After sixteen novels\, Jacqueline Winspear has take
 n the bold step of turning to memoir\, revealing the hardships and joys of
  her family history. Both shockingly frank and deftly restrained\, her mem
 oir tackles such difficult\, poignant\, and fascinating family memories as
  her paternal grandfather's shellshock\, her mother's evacuation from Lond
 on during the Blitz\; her soft-spoken animal-loving father's torturous ass
 ignment to an explosives team during WWII\; her parents' years living with
  Romani Gypsies\; and Jacqueline's own childhood working on farms in rural
  Kent\, capturing her ties to the land and her dream of being a writer at 
 its very inception. An eye-opening and heartfelt portrayal of a post-War E
 ngland we rarely see\, This Time Next Year We'll Be Laughing is the story 
 of a childhood in the English countryside\, of working class indomitabilit
 y and family secrets\, of artistic inspiration and the price of memory.</p
