A Time of Our Lives- How we grew up from the 1940s to the 1960s by Gerald Rice really liked it 4.00 · Rating details · 1 rating · 0 reviews A Time of Our Lives is in two parts. The first is a gentle look back on the childhood of millions of children who grew up in the two decades between the 1940s and the 1960s. The second part is about a crossing of the Sahara Desert in 1966 by the author and a friend - a crossing full of interest and not a little excitement; and about what happened next. Ge
