Skilfully evoked, vividly captured social history
Metro
A beguiling and often thought-provoking book
Glasgow Herald
A fascinating and entertaining read. The detail alone is impressive
Scotsman
A highly readable account of a foreign country where they really did do things differently.
Brandon Robshaw, Independent on Sunday
A lively, tactile history of inter-war Britain
The Times
A wide-ranging study of a fascinating period, We Danced All Night is also a good reference book... vividly evokes a time when tinned and processed food was really quite the thing, and the height of suburban sophistication was a new Tudorbethan house
Times Literary Supplement
As Pugh moves from one topic to the next, one has the sense of dirty windows being cleaned, revealing remarkably new views
Daily Express
Comprehensive, vivid and highly readable ... richly textured [and] absorbing
Sunday Telegraph
Lively and accessible
WBQ
Pugh is one of the most well-respected, diligent and honest scholars working in British history today. This book deserves to be read
Gerard DeGroot, Scotland on Sunday
This is a provocative and entertaining thesis and he does thorough justice to it in a lively account of social life in all its aspects - from divorce and drunkenness to holiday jaunts and health
Richard Overy, Literary Review
