The Bonny Lad

Product Information

Back in the days when we had potteries, women were employed to scrub off the stray bits of clay from part-fired pottery - usually the parts where the two halves of a mold joined, leaving a little ridge of clay which was scrubbed off with a hard brush.

Tulloch continues his brilliant melding of Alan Silitoe and Roddy Doyle in this, his second novel, once again mixing humor, despair, anger, and hope in a unabashedly social novel that tugs the heartstrings until they come close to breaking the heart. You are showing your age Keelefarmer - my mum used to say it, but she is eighty-five, and the potteries' mainly female workforce are long since redundant, and slowly passing on. The book is rife with refreshingly unveiled social commentary, ranging from the end of mining, to the government's abandonment of workers, and of course the general decline in community values and behavior.
