R.F. Delderfield is at his best when portraying an observant slice of small town life - this book proves why he was one of the twentieth century's bestselling authors.
Nat Hearn came back from the War to be assistant editor and can carrier in chief of the Sandcome Clarion.
R.F. Delderfield takes the lid off small town life with a relish born of experience and reveals the politicking and doubtful but only too human motives that swirl round and through the sieve of a small local paper.
