Widely acclaimed for its warm humor, lyricism and honesty as well as its accurate evocation of the 30s. 'Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve' has become a sought-after classic. In this delightful autobiographical novel, Dannie Abse skilfully interweaves public and private themes, setting the fortunes of a Jewish family in Wales against the troubles of the times... unemployment, the rise of Hitler, and the Spanish Civil War.

'Acutely remembered, imaginatively told. Readers will be fascinated to catch the true ring of the 'thirties...a clever, moving evocation.'
