Publisher's Synopsis
A powerful, atmospheric novel that captures the everyday flavours of London's East End in the 1930's. Dreams meet reality as the rain keeps falling, family arguments rage, a youngDreams meet woman looks for love, gangsters lurk, a fugitive makes his mark and murder and suicide hangs heavily in the air. Described as a predecessor to Alan Sillitoe's classic Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, this fine work is now available again after many years out of print, ready to take up its rightful place in the realist literary canon.
