Arnold Bennett was an author who specialised in stories of ordinary, every day life set in Victorian England.

Clayhanger is a family story...it details the lifestory of a man from leaving school to middle age. The story is based in a fictional industrial town in the English midlands at the end of the 19th century. However for all intense purposes, these are essentialy the towns that make up the pottery manufacturing towns of Staffordshire

The descriptions of life, sensations, feelings toward parents and siblings are superb.

If you manage to catch the TV series which is beautifully done and which encompasses the other two books that Bennett wrote on this family, you will not be disappointed.

Book in used condition and has yellowing of pages but all intact.
