Keeping Mum
Mum and Dad – Squibs and Bert – were a complete mystery to Brian Thompson as he grew up in Cambridge and London during the 1940s. His mother danced with the Yanks all night and slept under a fake fur coat all day, and when his father bothered to come home he resolutely discouraged Brain in everything. Whilst other children were evacuated out of the big cities, Brian found himself travelling into London, and spent much of the Blitz with an eccentric swarm of indolent, ribald relations. In Keeping Mum Brian Thompson describes a boyhood as rich and mysterious as anything fiction can provide.

A Corner of Paradise
In 1973, Brian Thompson kissed the impossibly glamorous Elizabeth North for the first time, in a busy supermarket car park along the Leeds ring road. This is the story of the unexpectedly joyous consequences âe" ones to baffle many, not least themselves âe" until her death, aged 78. Both were writers, though they came from opposite ends of the social register âe" she an Admiralâe(tm)s daughter, he the descendant of unruly Cockney eccentrics. She was by nature a solitary, while he was loud, incurably facetious âe" and needy. From a tiny Harrogate terrace, to the deeply un-picturesque French farmhouse where they spent their summers, Brian and Liz battled their way to a heart-rending goodbye in an Oxford hospital ward. In many ways, their partnership was âe~an exercise in asymmetryâe(tm) âe" yet, despite the conflicts, they emerge in this deeply-felt memoir as a couple who were lucky enough to find their corner of paradise in one another.
