Read between the lines.
This is a wonderful book. If I have a criticism it is that the gentility of its prose masks the obvious and, for us, the unimaginable suffering the people of Salford endured during those days.
The suffering of the people is portrayed in the book but it is so wonderfully written that it seems to underplay this aspect which is, in reality, the whole 'raison d'etre' of the book.
