Writer: A. J. Cronin
Genre: Fiction/ Classic
Some beautiful old memories prompted me to buy this book.
Andrew Manson, a newly qualified doctor arrives to work under Dr. Page as an assistant. The town of Drineffy is primarily a coal mining community and Manson tries his best to fit into the community and keep his ideals intact at the same time. After some initial hiccups he soon befriends almost the entire town. He also meets Christine and they soon get married and move to a nearby town. Meanwhile Manson is also engrossed in a silicosis research which fetches him laurels and he moves to London with a post on the 'Mines fatigue Board'.
The move to London is uneventful and Manson begins his private practice. However the lure of money catches up with him and he gives up on his ideals and strays away from Christine too. When the bubble bursts he must make amends but not without paying a hefty price.
It’s a story retold so many times that it has probably lost it's sheen but reading the classic is still worth every penny!
