Book Description
“The word ‘porridge’ has connotations, which associate it with a term of imprisonment which is how I perceived my formative years. The mere thought of yesterday’s uneaten porridge conjures up a picture of something cold wet and slimy with a possible dried crust on top. There can be but a handful of people for whom the victual conjures up such images and memories as it does for me. Amongst those, I would include a long-forgotten colleague in the navy whilst on a deep sea voyage to the Far East. He was always keen to extol the virtues of the cereal and had been eating it for breakfast for some eight weeks or more when he happened to be collecting rubbish from the galley one day and came across the empty porridge sack. To his horror, the bottom was full of live weevils, looking very energetic. He was promptly sick.”Yesterday’s Porridge is a novel based on Gordon Finn’s experiences as an evacuee during WW2 but seen through the eyes of Francis Tenby who makes a discovery some thirty five years later which alters the course of his life. It is the saga of the fictional lives and relationships of characters that Gordon created, based on people he knew in a foster home. The book will appeal to readers of historical fiction. Gordon is inspired by many authors, including Charles Dickens, Jeffrey Archer and Catherine Cookson.
