January’s book is 6A Blackstock Gardens by Gerry Potter.
“Memories were people too, y’know!” Within the tenements of the notorious Scottie Road, amidst dockyards and back-kitchen sink dramas, the Butlers navigate Liverpool with stoic wit ‘n’ brio. For Gerrid, the seventh son of a seventh child, born in the seventh month, and youngest to the matriarchal May, childhood is fuelled by observation and imagination. But it too-soon becomes clear that resilience must prove the most life-formative skill required to comprehend communal and familial, repetitive, grief… The first autobiographical instalment from the author of Planet Young – as seen on BBC TV’s Between the Covers.
