Ashley Smith was a British writer born in the UK of Jewish forebears. A 1946 review in The Spectator of his novel You Forget So Quickly said that "his novel impresses by its sheer honesty" and went on to praise it for "[building] up a solid picture of life in a working-class London borough as seen from its administrative centre, the town hall."
