Synopsis |
Ted Cole's life spirals downward when he is declared redundant. Only the chance meeting with Marie, softens the blow, and prevents him completely falling into depression. He is angry with those he sees as fat cats with nothing better to do than wreck peoples lives. After many months, a new job begins the road back, but he is not helped by constant reminders and the eventual closure of the firm, which brings on his father's heart attack. Eventually the strains become too great, leading to a parting from Marie, and a rocky time at work. It is only when Christine drops a pile of books in front of him that he is able to grasp an opportunity which leads to happiness. As he matures he begins to have a broader view of the industrial decline and rejuvenation which formed the background to his sacking, and starts to wonder who the real villains were. |
Biography |
J. B. Williams has an unusual background for a writer of fiction. Growing up in Cornwall, on a farm and by the coast, as soon he finished school, like most of his generation, he left the county to continue his education and find work. Training as an engineer he worked in that field for many years, but took up writing in the 1970s, when the original version of this story was written. The pressures of work and running a small business caused him to put it aside for nearly thirty years. After writing two other novels he picked it up again and rewrote it. The novel benefits from his experience in industry and the parts written so many years apart are exploited in the youth and growing maturity of the main character. |
