About this product
Product Information
`Written in the early 1930s TWENTY THOUSAND STREETS UNDER THE SKY displays Hamilton's particular genius at understanding the milieu who stand at the side of the bar. . . mainly seedy types but none the less rich in dreams, hopes and despairs. Those were the days when pubs were filled with characters. . . 'The Midnight Bell', lying in the Euston Road, is the pulse of this trilogy. It is here where Bob, the barman, falls in love with Jenny, a West End prostitute who leads him carelessly up the garden path and breaks his heart. . . In 'The Siege of Pleasure', we hear how Jenny was easily dissuaded from being a polite serving girl to selling herself on the streets. . . In 'The Plains of Cement', it is Ella, the barmaid of 'The Midnight Bell' who is pursued by the appalling Mr Eccles. . . Hamilton is a master at reproducing the inflated talk of betrayed lives' INDEPENDENTProduct Identifiers
