THE true story continues! “More Maisie Pops” picks-up where “Maisie Pops” left off, thanks to the unexpected discovery of May Faulkner-Lowe’s later diaries. “More Maisie Pops 1965-1990” faithfully follows the highs and heartaches of a single-minded, 20th Century, Cockney Londoner, from Christmas 1964 up to her passing in March 1990. May’s diary notes have, once again, been transcribed and elaborated upon from memory by her son David (a.k.a. Lewis Adler) and, as before, out of courtesy to some families and individuals encountered by May during her life, a small number of names and locations have been changed. Nevertheless, “More Maisie Pops” still outclasses any soap opera because every event actually occurred. From the joy of the births of new grandchildren, to the heartbreaking loss of her husband and other loved ones. From exciting new horizons explored and adventures experienced, to the sadness of a failed marriage very close to home. From the delight in new relationships and friendships, to the despair of estrangement from some of those she loved the most. And from an active social life, to the shocking and inexorable decline in her health. It's all there in "More Maisie Pops" as it happened. Indeed, May Faulkner-Lowe was a very real woman who had a compelling, and occasionally deeply moving story to tell.
