Excerpt from The Manchester Man, Vol. 2 of 3
Yet he hesitated, and lingered with his hand on the handle of the door, after the clear voice of Mr. Ashton had twice invited him to come in.
Mr. Ashton therefore opened the door, and saw J abez with a design for abell-rope tassel in his hand.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical novel of 19th century Manchester and the Peterloo massacre of 1819. The tumult and violence of the massacre is the climax of the story but the background of the book brings the reader into contact with the harsh conditions endured by textile workers in the period and the tensions between employers and workers. The author carefully brings together a series of incidents that demonstrate how a peaceful gathering of 80,000 people could end with so many injured, including the main character Jabez Clegg, an apprentice to a textile merchant, whose courage saves the life of his employer's daughter. The book explores themes of social justice, the responsibilities of leadership, and the strength of the human spirit in the face of oppression. Through close characterisation and a rich depiction of the time, this book offers astute observations on the political realities of the time that are as relevant now as they were then.
