Reader's note

If you're looking for a great read, In the Wet is sure to leave a lasting impression! This captivating novel explores the complex social and political landscape of post-World War II Britain through the eyes of a young Royal Air Force pilot. The twist being that he is telling his past in a fictional version of 1983 where the political landscape has taken socialism to the extremes. This is summarised very well by Judy in chapter V - "I think the historians will say that Socialism has been a good thing for England," she said thoughtfully. "All countries go through good patches and bad patches, and England has been going through a bad patch for the last forty years. It's probably not far from the end now. When we can feed our population things will suddenly improve, and the economists say that's only about five years ahead. Then, maybe, we can try free enterprise again. But in the meantime we've got to work together to get through the mess, and Socialism's probably the best for that." - it is difficult to imagine life being like this in today's world! Add this fascinating title to your home library - you won't be disappointed.
