Tucked away in a forgotten side street of London lies a dingy locale known as Angel Pavement, home to Twigg & Dersingham, suppliers of veneers to the furniture trade. Business is slow, and staff face rising competition and recession. The arrival of the charming Mr. Golspie promises a brighter future, but life will never be the same for the employees: cashier Herbert Norman Smeeth, clerk Harold Turgis, secretary-typist Lilian Matfield, and their boss, Howard Bromport Dersingham. This novel vividly captures the bustling metropolis during the painful Depression of the inter-war years while examining the impact of a predatory financial force on a small group of office workers. Critics regard it as one of J.B. Priestley's finest works, second only to Bright Day. Released after the success of The Good Companions, it is darker yet equally popular and significant. The 2012 reissue by Great Northern Books has delighted Priestley fans and aims to introduce new readers to the unique style and magic of his storytelling.
