Young Harry, an orphan from an impoverished council estate, becomes the link between starkly contrasting worlds: north and south, the deprived and the over-privileged, the powerful and the defenceless. With this compelling story of blackmail, media politics, corrupted innocence and redemptive love, Melvyn Bragg delivers an unforgettable portrait of modern life.
Reviews
A splendid Dickensian sweep of a book
A decent and intelligent novel, one which can be read, and will be read, with a great deal of pleasure
As a guide to media London, the novel is essential reading
The very good Bragg has forced a complex contemporary plot to work magic
Bragg has scarcely ever written better...A state of England message transfused by fiction
Melvyn Bragg writes with a lyrical nostalgia which is as important to the novel as his energy
