Publisher Description: Advance praise for Memories of the Beach: Lorraine O'Donnell Williams has given us a charming and evocative memoir of the Beach district six or seven decades ago, when it was a separate world in the southeast corner of Toronto. Everyone who knew the Beach that was, and everyone who knows the Beach of today, will enjoy her account of growing up in that special place. - Robert Fulford, author of Accidental City: The Transformation of Toronto |
