This is a novel that only slowly takes on form and develops power to disturb the reader. Rather than using outrageous events the author lets the ordinary slowly invest in the characters a subtle meaning that can only suggest that something extraordinary is happening. The talent to do this is reserved to few authors - David Storey is one of those authors.
