Surprisingly quickly a web search informed him that his seven - times - great great - grandfather Thomas Marchant had left a detailed diary from 1714 to 1728. So far so jolly Life - loving diarist Thom - who liked a drink and a game of cards - feels recognisably Marchant to Ian. With fascinating detail we learn about Thom's family farm and fishponds; about dung horses and mud; about beer the wife's nights out his own job troubles and their shared worries for their children. But as Ian digs deeper beyond the Sussex diary's bucolic portrait he discovers a subtext - a family descended from immigrants with antiestablishment politics who are struggling with illness political instability and cash crises - just as their country does three centuries on. Rich and immersive One Fine Day draws a living portrait of Marchant family life in the 1720s and how their England (rainy muddy politically turbulent illnessridden) became the England of the 2020s.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: One Fine Day A Journey Through English Time\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Marchant Ian\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: September Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781914613555\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 364 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 7\/9\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Modern History To 20th Century: C 1700 To C 1900","brand":"Marchant Ian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49626637992241,"sku":"IN-G-9781914613555","price":24.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781914613555-one-fine-day-a-journey-through-english-time","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
