Frank Dawley is 26. He is sick of his job his house his marriage his life. In this novel the author brilliantly captures that feeling of wanting to escape from the shackles of conventional society. The break for freedom that is so exhilarating. One that so few of us have the nerve to attempt. Carrie was once 26. Trapped in a boring job, a destructive relationship - in a rut. I know these feelings so well that he could have written this book for me. Like the protagonist here that girl managed to escape just in time for the sake of her own sanity. Sillitoe is the master of the anti hero - Smith the lonely long distance borstal boy runner ; the hard drinking womaniser Arthur Seaton in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning; These are characters drawn effortlessly from real life by an author who deserves greater recognition.
