MY SON, MY SON

by Howard Spring ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 16, 1938

First rate reading in an intensely interesting story of a self-made man and of the son to whom he gave everything he himself had lacked -- and the results. A story of friendship -- a double success story -- a paralleling of two families, of Manchester slums, of London, of Cornwall holidays, of the theatre, of the war -- and in and out and through the main story, the thread of fanatic loyalty to the Irish cause, culminating in a realization too bitter for the dreams that nurtured it. The characters for the most part are vital -- the emotional quality of the story goes deep. It's a book with elements of real popularity -- and deservedly so. A more than worthy successor to Shabby Tiger (Covici Friede, 1935).
