Love On The Dole | Walter Greenwood

1 post | 2 read | 2 to read

In Hanky Park, near Salford, Harry and Sally Hardcastle grow up in a society preoccupied with grinding poverty, exploited by bookies and pawnbrokers, bullied by petty officials and living in constant fear of the dole queue and the Means Test. His love affair with a local girl ends in a shotgun marriage, and, disowned by his family, Harry is tempted by crime. Sally, meanwhile, falls in love with Larry Meath, a self-educated Marxist. But Larry is a sick man and there are other more powerful rivals for her affection.

Love On The Dole | Walter Greenwood

pick

Love On The Dole is a moving novel about a working class community struggling with the widespread unemployment of the 1930s. The characters are expertly drawn by an author who knows his subject. At once familiar and utterly surprising, it is a rewarding novel that deserves to be more widely read.
