In the grey, unforgiving world of post-war Britain, Alan Brett finds himself caught in a life slowly unravelling at the seams — a man neither triumphant nor entirely broken, but perpetually, dangerously run down. Robert Garrett's novel chronicles the interior landscape of an ordinary man navigating extraordinary pressures, painting a portrait of quiet desperation with unflinching realism and subtle, sardonic wit. Garrett writes in the tradition of mid-century British social realism, presenting a world where class, ambition, and personal failure collide in the mundane rhythms of everyday life. Published by the distinguished London imprint Michael Joseph — home to some of the finest British literary voices of the twentieth century — this novel stands as a compelling study of a man teetering on the edge of his own existence. Will Alan Brett find a foothold, or will the world finally succeed in grinding him down completely?
