Synopsis
The Open Door follows Saturday Night and Sunday Morning as the final volume in the Seaton series.
Returning on a troopship from Malaya in 1949, Brian Seaton (Arthur's brother) comes back to a Nottingham world of rationing, the black market, a wife he no longer loves and a child who does not recognise him. He is full of life and lust, but he has tuberculosis, forcing a long stay in a military hospital where he falls for first one nurse, then a second, while carrying on a relationship with another TB sufferer back in Nottingham.
In the background, this partially autobiographical novel reveals that Seaton is starting to write, meeting others like him as he realises there is a wider world than the back streets of his Midlands home.
With an introduction by Alan Sillitoe's widow, the poet Ruth Fainlight.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Just as he is about to leave the RAF, Brian Seaton finds that he has TB. This disrupts his plans to return home - his marriage was in any case in difficulty - and the novel switches between Nottingham and the RAF sanitorium. Seaton is also torn between women - having affairs with two of the nurses at the sanitorium, while becoming involved with a young woman in his home town, who also has TB. Follows "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning" as the final volume in the Seaton series, first published to acclaim in 1989, but long unavailable. A canonical writer of working class Britain, this is the first Alan Sillitoe book to be published since his death. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781907869631
