Description
Dragged Up Proppa is a powerful memoir of growing up working class in a forgotten England. Born in a coal-miner's cottage in a village near Durham, Pip Fallow's life was shaped by the closure of his village's mine in the 1980s, leaving him at the back of the dole queue like many others.
This is Pip's story of resilience and survival, of living by his wits, working and travelling the world, before finally settling a few miles from where he grew up. His account offers a unique perspective on the issues affecting Britain today, including the north-south divide, social mobility, and the devastating impact of deindustrialization and government neglect.
A memoir of a lost generation, Dragged Up Proppa is a gripping narrative that sheds light on the communities and way of life that have disappeared in Britain today.
