A Summer in the Twenties

Meer over het boek

It is 1926, a year now misty with legend, from Valentino to England's General Strike, from Oxford rowdies to the Bolshevik menace. Here the legends come alive again, seen through the eyes of young Tom Hankey--athletic, intelligent, and above all, honorable. His world has beenone of champagne breakfasts and fancy-dress balls at great country houses. Now, as a volunteer train driver during England's General Strike, he has a series of adventures that bring him face to face with the unfamiliar world of the slums, the dynamic agitator Kate, all the new ideas she represents--and mor danger than he coul ever have imagined.
