In late 1920s England, on the verge of the Great Depression, John
Oakley owns a small manufacturing plant that has fallen on hard
times. Taxes are rising, orders are dropping, and the firm is
gradually heading towards bankruptcy. But his grown
children--Alway, Frida, Elsie, and Nina--are clueless as to the
financial situation of the family, and live their lives according
to the dictates of the "fast crowd" of the time. Wright's setting
and characters, partially based on events in his own life, come
vividly alive on the page, as his children and grandchildren
struggle with problems of life and death, religion, love, marriage
and parenthood. A marvelous family saga of an era long-vanished.
