Reviews

[Alan · Rating 3 out of 5]

1986 notebook: very male book, of its time I suppose; he mentions his wife two or three times throughout its length; can't come to terms with women or sex. Women don't get much of a look in - his wife seems loved because she is quiet and still, undemanding, even at the end when she goes blind. But, on the other hand, a felicitous portrait of the Midlands, lower middle class life in Birmingham in the first half of the twentieth century, and can be enjoyed for that.
