[Hayley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short stories are something I'm slowly working my way into so this was a bit of new ground. Having devoured SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING a few years ago and hailing from Sillitoe's home county, I rather enjoyed this. Some stories didn't quite grab me, but some hooked me from first word to last. I really admire Sillitoe's immersive writing style and uncompromisingly frank language.
