Clayhanger
by Arnold Bennett, Frank Swinnerton
by Arnold Bennett, Frank Swinnerton
This is a good old-fashioned read, based in the Staffordshire potteries towards the end of the Victorian reign. It was written contemporarily, so doesn't have that whimsical quality you often find with books written retrospectively of that period. It's based around the growing up of a young man with a controlling father, and the resulting lack of confidence in the son. The details of the book give a wonderful insight into a time when industry was changing the face of Britain.
