The Litten Path (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Litten Path is a sweeping debut that provides an intimate view of the miners' strike of 1984 as it unfolds through the eyes of two families on either side of the struggle. The Litten Path is a novel of the strike as much as about the strike, knitting the intense emotional and political terrain of the famous dispute with the stark landscape of a small town in South Yorkshire. Written in a tough yet lyrical northern vernacular, The Litten Path is grimly honest and tender, comic and painful, a story of the clash between the urban and the rural, class frictions and the pressures of family. It is about what happens when a decision is made, when one cannot turn back.

Rezensionen

James Clarke has written a cinematic novel of such heart, desperation, and as artfully arranged as a Renaissance painting. It is a fearless portrait of a fearful time, replete with moments of wonder, love, pain, anger, and hope. The Litten Path is about the miners' strike, it is also about the human cost of a system that is still spiralling wildly out of control. Both an important historical record and a warning of what's to come.
