Austerity Brownjohn
I've just picked up the latest Alan Brownjohn novel, his fourth, Windows on the Moon, set in 1947-48 (Austerity) Britain - the period of my doctoral research. I like Brownjohn as a critic, poet, and person, and think I may like this book, also. It opens well, and intriguingly. It comes with blurbs from Margaret Drabble, Jonathan Fuller and David Kynaston (the leading popular historian of this period).

Take it from me, Todd, you will enjoy that book. I did, very much. Alan is a delicious writer in both prose and poetry.
