Saxon Brown irons shirts in a steaming Oakland laundry; Billy Roberts drives a team and boxes on the side. Their courtship and marriage are tested by labour wars, violence and hard times in the city, until the couple take to the road across California looking for a farm and a life of their own on the land.
One of London’s most personal novels, written as he turned to farming in Sonoma, and a vivid picture of working-class California. Download the free EPUB.
