Produktbeschreibung
This is a story of ambition and the awakening of maturity. It tells of the coming of age of Eddie Higgins, Joe Trent and Tony Jenner, three young men from Lancashire. While all of them begin their adult lives by serving apprenticeships at a small engineering firm, Up is the best place to be follows their attempts to transcend the limitations of a working-class upbringing and their limited educational opportunities in North West England in the 1960s. Set in a time of profound social change, when social and class barriers began to be dismantled, James Lythgoe shows the impact of this upheaval on the lives of ordinary young men, who by the end of the novel have found that their lives have developed in ways they could not have expected, or even imagined.

Autorenporträt
James, a retired British engineer, has lived and worked in South Africa for many years, and resides in the culturally deprived backwater town of Benoni. Another Point of View is his fourth work and follows two novels, and a book of short stories previously published in London and New York. When relaxing James can usually be found practising his unorthodox golf swing, quaffing cheap white wine, painting Otters (his family crest), or trying to unravel the meaning of his somewhat indecipherable poetry. His views on poetry are somewhat Bohemian. "It should be poignant, paradoxical, preposterous, and passionate and unintended for those bereft of humour, love or empathy."
