More Description'My 1981 Diary', initially penned in 1981, chronicles Alice's daily thoughts and experiences throughout that year. It delves into her family life, interactions with neighbours, school days, teenage romances and her dynamic with her father, the portrait artist Robert Lenkiewicz who was experiencing the height of his creativity and eccentricity at the time. Against the backdrop of Plymouth, the diary captures Alice's adventures as she navigates her teenage years. Beyond merely exploring the complex emotions of adolescence the book also vividly portrays the era's rock music scene and its influence on her social life and the teenagers at the time, replete with head-banging rock music events organised by the extrovert Andy Hugh. An essential read for anyone longing to journey back to a bygone era characterised by denim waistcoats adorned with badges and logos, the aroma of patchouli oil, an atmosphere steeped in intellectualism and the absence of the internet. This is a true-life tale. Alice's diary is a compelling read brimming with moments of joy, sorrow and laughter.
