Serialised on BBC Radio 4 Women’s Hour in July 2010, 50 years after the original was published.
The original Lad-Lit novel - Stan Barstow laid the ground for Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons.
Vic Brown is attracted to the beautiful but demanding Ingrid. As their relationship grows and changes he comes to terms - the hard way - with adult life and what it really means to love.
Stan Barstow is best known for his novel A Kind of Loving, which has long been used as a set text in British schools and variously translated into a movie, a television series, a radio play and a stage play. His other novels include Ask Me Tomorrow (1962), The Watchers on the Shore (1966) and The Right True End (1976). In April 2008, the four-part television drama Calon Gaeth, which Stan co-wrote with Diana Griffiths, won a Welsh BAFTA for Best Drama.
