Green cloth on boards. No writing. Small corner tears to DJ. The number of internet reviews suggests that this 20's novel of a worker's life in Britain touches a variety of heartstrings. Some pity the man without a wife and the boy without a mother. Others bewail the negative portrayal of women as a group. Regardless, there's lots to think about in this easily-read work. 394 pp. View more info
