Aprašymas

A darkly funny, heartfelt and unforgettable novel set against the 1984 to 1985 miners' strike. When a whole community goes on strike, it is not just the mines that shut down. Livelihoods, routines, identities and futures are all put at risk. In the Northern village of Malton, where humour is a survival instinct and loyalty is non-negotiable, even the hardest moments come with laughter.

When coal runs out and tensions rise, friendships are tested and police lines tighten. The men of Malton must learn how to strike and how to survive. Soup kitchens, secret pickets, community chaos and a few unexpected crises pull the village together in ways no one expects.

Inspired by true events, In the Shadow of the Wheel blends gritty drama with sharp British humour, capturing the resilience of working class families during one of Britain's most turbulent industrial conflicts.

Perfect for readers of the following:

• Roddy Doyle
• Billy Elliot and Brassed Off
• Working class British fiction
• Dark comedy with emotional depth
• Fiction based on real historical events

A story of struggle, solidarity and the unstoppable humour of the North.
