More about the book

Alan Sillitoe is famous as a master of the short story. This book shows why. From the bible-basher and his key rôle in PIT STRIKE, to the boy whose parents left each other – and him – the same morning in ENOCH'S TWO LETTERS; from the man who tried to act out a 'real' life in MIMIC, to the woman whose husband came back to her in BEFORE SNOW COMES – these stories go to the heart of the torments and joys of living.
