We Have Come to a Country

Alick Foss arrives in a North of England town in 1933 to take up a very badly paid job as Superintendent of an Occupation Centre...a centre set up to help cope with the tragic problem of unemployment in the Britain of the 1930s..
It becomes the fashion among the better off people in the town to befriend him, and in fact two of them fall in love with him as well..
"We have come to a Country" is simply the story of these people and those who attend the centre. It is also a slice of life and history interpreted for the reader with real understanding and compassion...excerpt from the 1969 edition..J.Z.
