Review
Highly recommended. Combines tension with a splendid sense of atmosphere and vivid characterisation. An excellent read (Sunday Express)
Mr Delderfield's manner is easy, modest, heartwarming (Evening Standard)
R F Delderfield is a born storyteller ( Sunday Mirror)
Sheer, wonderful storytelling (Chicago Tribune)
It is always a pleasure to read R F Delderfield, because he never seems to be ashamed of writing well (Books and Bookmen)
He built an imposing artistic social history that promises to join those of his great forebears in the long, noble line of the English novel. His narratives belong in a tradition that goes back to John Galsworthy and Arnold Bennett (Life Magazine)
Book Description
On the outside the Avenue appeared so peaceful but this is a story of turbulent change, of boom and bust, mass unemployment, new freedoms and restrictions, the Blackshirts, and jazz.
