Stan Barstow - A Kind of Loving (1960) Review - The Broken Spine Put simply, this is one of the finest novels I’ve ever read. If I could have given it six stars, I would have, without question.

"Revisit the classic exploration of working-class life and love in Stan Barstow’s A Kind of Loving. A timeless read."

In 1982 I watched the tv adaptation of A Kind Of Loving. It was broadcast on Yorkshire tv on Sunday evenings. I was so taken by the tv series that read the trilogy of novels that year in the Vic Brown saga. Who else remembers the tv adaptation?

📽️ John Shlesinger (1962)

Kitchen sink drama.
La quête de l’ailleurs, le basculement d’un destin dans une époque où tout était bordé.
C’est une analyse intéressante d’une société, d’esprits sous la gouverne de codes trempés.
