A Quiet Life by Beryl Bainbridge
A Lancashire family in the 1940's. Their lives, individuality and limitations are seen through the eyes of the adolescent son in a story told with great economy and never a false note. At the end there is a quietly stunning shift of perspective.
(Tony Pratt - bwl 60 Spring 2011 )
