Description

Downturn by Tom Anderson is a portrayal of life as a far-left activist in 1980s Britain. Set against the backdrop of a Conservative government and a general election, the novel follows the struggles of its characters as they navigate personal relationships and union politics. The story takes place during a tumultuous period in British history, with the Falklands War still fresh in the public's mind. As the winter and spring of 1983 approach, tensions rise and loyalties are tested. With empathy and humour, Anderson brings to life the lives of those involved in the ongoing struggle. Through its characters' experiences, Downturn offers a nuanced exploration of the complexities of left-wing activism in the early 1980s.
