Slackhall is a depressed mill-town in the north of England in the late 1930s. The Boothe family preside over the town from a crumbling house on the hill. Then along comes Dagmar, a German nurse, intent on spreading her Nazism not only through the Boothes, but also the entire town.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Edition. London: Hodder & Stoughton 1991 Hardcover. 0340415738 . First edition [of what is apparently the author's first novel]. 352 pages. The year is 1938 and the name of Hitler is just a whisper in Slackhall until Dagmar, with her mission ``to become torch-bearer for the Reich,'' changes the landscape. A host of grotesques swirl in Slackhall: an obese schoolgirl given to visions; the hysteric nun; a lascivious cleric; a witchlike, fortune-telling nanny whose maledictions come true. This melodramatic blend of fantasy and horror has historical and political resonance, but is only intermittently effective as fiction. Oldham is a London barrister. Near fine with light toning to pages in Near Fine jacket with a very small tear to spine heel. clph. N° de réf. du vendeur 20018
