Lay Gently on the Coals

Art Cockerill


Art Cockerill’s Lay Gently on the Coals chronicles the fortunes of an English family during the 1930s and ’40s when times were hard and the outlook grim – hard for working families and grim for the nation.

Lay Gently is destined to become a classic novel of working-class family life before, during and after the Second World War.
