- More about Say I am Merry
Merry and her siblings are taken from London at the outbreak of the Second World War, leaving their father behind and cutting them off from the 'real world and contact with other children. Peace takes them back to their life in London, but their husbands illness brings mounting financial pressures. Isolated from the excitement of Sixties London, Merry becomes increasingly aware of the religious, social, and cultural family differences that run through generations of her family, silently accepted but constantly exerting their stresses. Say I Am Merry is a fictional pot-pourri in prose and poetry that explores love and loss and the way the stories of one generation are handed to the next.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Merry and her siblings find themselves on the run, leaving their father behind and severing their connections with the outside world and other children. They are taken to a distant location, far from their familiar surroundings. However, peace eventually returns, and they are able to return to their life in London. As the children grow and pursue their own paths, their lives take different directions. Merry experiences a fulfilling marriage, which brings romance and the birth of daughters. However, her husband's illness also adds to their financial burdens.
Living in isolation from the vibrant energy of Sixties London, Merry becomes increasingly anxious about money and the prevailing religious, social, and cultural differences that run deep within her family. These differences are silently accepted but constantly exert their pressures, creating a sense of unease and tension. Say I am Merry is a captivating blend of prose and poetry that explores the themes of love, loss, and the transmission of stories from one generation to the next. It is a poignant, ambitious, and compelling debut that leaves a lasting impression on the reader.
