Description

This 600-page novel is a social-political panorama of life in West Riding, Yorkshire, in the mid-1930s. Lettice Cooper's story follows Mary as she returns to her childhood home and takes up a position at the local newspaper, where she becomes embroiled in the everyday struggles and snobbery of small-town life.

The novel explores themes of class, politics, and social change, drawing on the author's own experiences growing up in Yorkshire. With its vivid portrayal of rural life and its focus on the experiences of a young woman living in a patriarchal society, National Provincial is a thought-provoking and engaging read.

Set against the backdrop of a strike and the tensions between national and provincial identity, Cooper's novel remains remarkably relevant today, offering a powerful exploration of the social and economic inequalities that persist in our communities.
