Product Description
Review
‘Here a human history is mined with humour and a clenching sense of its sombre inequities: man’s squat but lengthening shadow in the sun’
( Guardian )‘He has a hard muscular quality to his writing. Some of his phrases hammer against you like a collier’s pick.’
( The Times )‘An intense, witty and beautifully wrought novel’
( Daily Telegraph ) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.Synopsis
A novel, winner of the 1975 Whitbread award for fiction, in which a man from an impoverished Scottish mining town becomes leader of his community, even though he longs for escape. From the author of THE PAPERS OF TONY VEITCH, THE BIG MAN, STRANGE LOYALTIES and THE KILN.
