Publisher's Synopsis
Unable to articulate his pain at the unfairness of life: the paralysis of his wife, the rejection of his son, the plotting of his neighbor to take over his farm, Howard Elman is driven towards desperate measures.
About the Publisher
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
