Maureen Duffy That's How It Was

Through the Rebel Writers book I read about the author Maureen Duffy and found this copy of her book 'That's How It Was' on Ebay. 
It was her first novel and published in 1962, she details her and her mother's memories of growing up in the war. So far I have found the book so enjoyable to read. Many working-class novels of the time are very factual and are written more like historic fiction than the playfulness of some other novels, which is one thing I enjoy about them but Duffy writes like she isn't solely concerned with her class. 
Because the narrative is that of her and her mother's memory although there are factual horrific scenes of when they were bombed in WW2 when she was six, there are some lovely images of her fishing in the summer and playing in the snow pretending she is a solider. 
I think it's a really good example of including a character's working-class background and the reader is aware and reminded of it but it isn't the sole concern of the book.
