Synopsis

1938. The tang of salt air scents the pages of this book. The story of a boy swept at an early age into the torrent of life, Lower Class moves one deeply with its picture of courageous but simple people struggling for a meager existence. Although much of the story is brutal and rough, there is an undercurrent of idealism beneath it that raises the book to one of inspirational worth. Characters of the poorer classes of England are portrayed here with deft sharpness. A way of life almost unknown in America is presented in simple, forceful prose that absorbs the reader to the last page.
