In this, the first volume of an ambitious trilogy intending to trace the parallel lives of a man and woman from youth to marriage and from marriage to old age, Bennett introduces the character of Edwin Clayhanger.

A sober portrait of a boy growing up under a tyrannical father contrasts with young Edwin’s glimpses of the mysterious and tantalizing Hilda Lessways. As the lives of these two characters unfold before us, Bennett uses autobiographical detail to beautifully depict the constraints and spiritual adventures of young life in the Potteries.

‘Bennett writes magnificently of the little movements of the spirit in its daily routine’ - Margaret Drabble­­       Arnold Bennett
