About this product
Product Information
Distinguished by irony, compassion and the author's own dry wit, these three novels paint a memorable picture of life in the streets, schools and tenements of Glasgow in the 1950s and 60s. With a unique vision of loneliness, old age, sexual longing, hot young blood and youth's casual cruelty, George Friel's books explore a dark comedy of tangled communication, human need and fading community. All these elements come together in the humorous parable of greed, religion and slum youth that is The Boy Who Wanted Peace; in the fate of old and disturbed Miss Partridge who is obsessed with the innocence of young Grace; and in the mental collapse of Mr Alfred, a middle-aged schoolteacher who is in love with one of this pupils. The humour, realism and moral concern of Friel's work clearly anticipate and stand alongside the novels of Alan Spence, Alasdair Gray, William McIlvanney and James Kelman.

EXCELLENT!!! - very fast dispatch & delivery - good packing ensured safe receipt (thanks seller for your trouble) - book/case described as 'v. good' - it's better than described and in my opinion is 'like new' (probably unread) - well chuffed with purchase and a highly recommended seller 10/10****

Great service. Fast delivery and well packaged. Books were described as in 'Good' condition and to be fair 2 of them were actually better than this. One has quite a lot of spotting on the edges that you don't get to see in the photos but even this book would still qualify as 'Good'. No complaints here.

Excellent item, as described, in good condition and great quality. Very efficient in posting after payment received. Excellent postage cost. Great service from seller but same can't be said for the Royal Mail which as a seller you can't control and I am aware of that. However, Royal Mail did locate my stack of book's after a phone call to Customer Services.
I am really looking forward to doing business with you in the not so distant future. Thank you again.
