First published in 1938, MY SON, MY SON is bestselling British author Howard Spring's multigenerational portrait of a relationship between father and son.
Howard Spring (1889-1965) won worldwide fame with his bestselling novel O Absalom! – afterward reissued as My Son, My Son to avoid a clash with William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! He settled in Cornwall, the setting for books that followed, such as Fame Is the Spur (1940), Hard Facts (1944), and The Houses in Between (1951).
A vigorous novel of frustrated lives. A story that is remorseless
in its insistence on futility; pitiless as life itself
*Times Literary Supplement*
Mesmerising... 600 pages of astute observation about social
division, loveless marriage, the Troubles, the errors of
over-indulgent fatherhood and the upheavals of World War I make for
a hugely irresistible and satisfying read'
