Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The Sun in Splendour" is an evocative and immersive novel that captures the vibrant, gritty essence of early 20th-century London. Set primarily in Islington and the surrounding districts, the narrative centers on a public house of the same name, which serves as a vital crossroads for a diverse cast of characters navigating the complexities of urban life. Through its pages, Thomas Burke explores the tension between the harsh realities of the working class and the soaring aspirations of the human spirit.The story follows the development of Christopher Scollard, a young man with profound musical ambitions, as he attempts to rise above his modest beginnings.
