May Day

This novel is a work of fiction so sharply written its prose still excites, so relevant it could be describing events in the modern-day. The core of the book is straightforward and familiar. The owners of an East London factory are bullying their workers into speeding up production and cutting corners to increase profit margins. Beyond the factory gates, a rebellion is brewing, and the events that follow take place across three- days. Which leads to industrial action by busmen and a march into central London on May 1^st.
