About the Author:
Anthony Cartwright is the author of Heartland.
Review:
"No doubt about it. Anthony Cartwright can certainly write. This is a painfully honest and accomplished first novel, a grimly realistic account of a working-class Black Country family at home and at work and at play, so utterly faithful to the world it sets out to recreate that one has to admire it. Vivid and dramatic, it penetrates beneath the skin of young and old. We are given no more than the remnants of the old working-class world of warmth and solidarity, one that has now had its heart torn out, but what afterglow there is comes from the portrait of the mother, Mary, and her 'little victories of life over death.'"
