Synopsis

An Ordinary Man is an interesting read, telling about the life of George Harold Clough over a time span of a hundred years, experiencing some of the social history of Britain during this period. It's an autobiography about Harold (he was always known by his middle name), drawing a vivid picture of growing up in the slums of a mining village in the north of England. It gives a unique glimpse into his work in an industry that is long forgotten in this country and takes you through a great change in his personal life when he joined the Salvation Army and found a deep and lasting faith in God. We journey with him through college, love and marriage to life as a family man. He describes his working life as a miner, a Salvation Army Officer and finally as an engineer. He had a great love of music, which took up a large part of his leisure time, being proficient in playing various instruments. Harold outlines the enormous challenge represented by the shift from a working man to retirement and later, the effects of widowhood and living in a care home. As Harold discusses his life, he also depicts aspects of a greater affluence in Britain and highlights social advancement over the years. He has used photographs to illustrate various events of his long life. Born near the beginning of the twentieth century, Harold lived through two World Wars, and two World Recessions before his death at 105 years old in the twenty-first century. He has 'spilled his guts out' in this autobiography, giving an illuminating view into his life. Harold always thought of himself as just an ordinary man, but AN ORDINARY MAN is a book about an extraordinary man of great faith.
