Description
Set against the stark but beautiful Yorkshire landscape, The Truth of Things is a gritty and authentic perspective on rural working-class life that encapsulates all the unique and unflinching power of family love. A deftly handled exploration of modern poverty, the highs and lows of adolescence, and life with learning difficulties, this is a book for every reader.
