Synopsis

Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve by Abse, Dannie

Another classic novel from the Library of Wales series

Sharp, sad and romantic, Dannie Abse's reminiscences tell of the private fortunes of a Jewish family in Cardiff amid the troubled tapestry of the 20th century - unemployment, the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, and the Spanish civil war.

Funny, moving and idiosyncratic
— New Statesman

Acutely remembered, imaginatively told...a clever moving evocation
— the Observer

Written from the heart and many will respond to it
— The Spectator
