An amazing read as Ben Bamforth is an ancestor of mine (my maiden name is Bamforth) so the luddites cause and history runs deep in my veins. I love the Yorkshire dialect which my grandfather spoke and is sadly dying and what a treat to read local history by someone who witnessed it. The fiction element is less appealing to me but I loved the atmosphere and historical weight of the author's narrative. Even though the dialect slowed my reading I loved the memories it evokes - a very important part of history especially of that region
