Description

Nell Dunn's vivid portrayal of life in London's industrial slums in the early Sixties is a powerful and unflinching look at the lives of working-class women. Her scenes of everyday life, set against the backdrop of the city's underbelly, are both poignant and unromanticised.

Through her characters, Dunn captures the spirit of a bygone era, with all its attendant joys and hardships. Her writing is marked by a superb gift for colloquial speech, and her characters convey a caustic, ironic, and compassionate feeling for life.

Up the Junction is a testament to the power of everyday life, and a tribute to the women who lived it. This is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
