Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Longlisted for the Booker Prize Deeply humane and acutely truthful Peter Kemp, Sunday Times After the upheavals of the Second World War, the Richardson family Sam, Ellen and their young son Joe settle back to working-class life in the Cumbrian town of Wigton. Yet for them, as for so many, life will never be the same again. As the old order begins to be challenged and new vistas open, Sam and Ellen forge their future together with differing needs and desires - and conflicting expectations of Joe, who grows up with his own demons to confront. It is as if these were the novels he was always waiting to write He catches brilliantly the volatility of emotions how happiness can curdle, anger flare, guilt build into terrror.
