Opis

Jack Munday has been fighting all his life. His early memories are from the boxing ring, but since then he has grown numb; scarred by his bullying father and haunted by the tragic fate of his first love. Caught up in the austerity of post-war London, Jack is now a grafting boxing manager in search of a break. The old haunts of Peckham and Camberwell are an unwelcome reminder of his oppressive past; so too is the crumbling family home he still shares with his invalid sister, Pearl. So when hope and ambition appear in the form of Frank, a young boxer with a winning prospect, and Georgie, a new girl who can match him step for step, Jack seizes his chance for a better future. But he still has to overcome his past. Inspired by the author's boxing grandfather, the novel is at once a startlingly poignant exploration of love and family loyalty, and a proud evocation of the strength of relationships formed in a violent, ambitious, male-dominated world.
