Widely acclaimed for its warm humor, lyricism and honesty as well as its accurate evocation of the 30s. 'Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve' has become a sought-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 troubles of the times... unemployment, the rise of Hitler, and the Spanish Civil War.
