John Gross

A Double Thread

Buch

John Gross was the son of a Jewish doctor who practised in Mile End at the time of WW2. A Double Thread is a marvellously vivid picture of a lost London and a vanished culture but it is also the story of an imaginative boy discovering his own path, through books andfilms and school - away from the East End into the new freedoms of a literary life.
