Description
The Night-Soil Men by Bill Broady is a sweeping novel that explores the origins and development of the Independent Labour Party. Spanning four decades, it delves into the socialist foment and activism of fin-de-siècle Britain, the impact of the First World War, and the changing landscape of the interwar years. At its heart are three central characters: passionate Fred Jowett, ruthless Philip Snowden, and the licentious Victor Grayson. Their exploits, fortunes, and relationships drive the narrative, punctuated by sex, comrades, hustings, art, dialect, and copious points of order. With cameos from every leading socialist of the age, this generational tale is both thrilling and revolutionary. A ribald and laugh-out-loud funny novel, The Night-Soil Men offers a fresh perspective on British history, replete with sex, politics, and social change.
