About this title

Synopsis

Real seller with inventory on hand. Trade Paperback. The Harvester Press, 1982. Very Good. A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 302 pages. Light wear to cover. Gissing's novel of working-class life in the slums of Clerkenwell, following artisans, factory-girls, and slum-dwellers in a naturalistic portrait of poverty with no escape.

From the Back Cover

This is a tale of intrigue, as rapacious schemers try to wrest a fortune out of a mysterious old man who has returned to their midst, and of thwarted love. There is no sentimentality. This is a world in which the strong exercise power against their own kind, scheming and struggling for survival, a world from which, Gissing bleakly maintains, there can be no escape.
