A Time for Change?

Meer over het boek

Manchester in the 1960s. A world dominated by men. Yet Connie Campbell has defied convention; a leading figure in the city's financial community. Proud of her working class roots she still lives in Ardwick. Condemned for demolition, Connie fights to protect the neighbourhood she loves. But can she overcome the arrogance of the planners and the corruption of local business and political elites? And as the struggle unfolds, will Connie's own search for love end in anything other than betrayal and disappointment? Will the ultimate price of her professional success, be the denial of her personal happiness? Connie's story is Manchester's too. A time when social and political change is transforming the city and its people. Whilst bringing the promise of opportunity and freedom for many, will it destroy the traditional values of the city's proud, working class communities?
