Of Love and Hunger

Set during the bleak years of the Depression, Of Love and Hunger follows the life of a drifting vacuum-cleaner salesman navigating love, poverty, and disillusionment in post-war Britain. Harsh yet sharply observed, the novel captures the raw edges of survival with a louche, slangy style that immerses readers in its gritty world. Why You Should Read? A vivid portrait of Depression-era struggle, love, and urban life. Recognised as a significant work alongside literary classics like Coming Up for Air and Hangover Square. Perfect for readers interested in 20th-century British fiction and post-war social realism. Celebrated for its sharp, unsentimental voice and authentic sense of time and place.
