One of the Wroth’s posters is a big fan (Tressells Broadbrush? I may have not quite

remembered it correctly - apols if not). I read it a while back and thought it was fantastic.

One of my non fiction reads this year was a book about the 1930s. That reminded me how much I had loved Walter Greenwood’s Love on the Dole which I’d read at a similar time. Have you come across it? I think I’ll put it back on my list to re-read next year 😊
