Marcia: A Middleton Novel

by John Wheatley

Set in the industrial town of Middleton, to the north of Manchester, MARCIA tells the story of a first-love that continues to haunt two people long after their lives have gone in different directions. Recording the rituals and intimacies of courtship and marriage, the novel evokes the changing faces of Middleton through four decades as it moves towards its post-industrial present.
