Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve
ComedyHistoricalDramaAutobiography
Widely acclaimed for its warm humour, lyricism and honesty, as well as its accurate evocation of the thirties, Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve has become a sung-after classic. In this delightful autobiographical novel, Dannie Abse skilfully interweaves public and private themes, setting the fortunes of a Jewish family in Wales against the troubled backcloth of the times, unemployment, the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, and the Spanish Civil War. Narrated by actor and comedian Griff Rhys Jones.
