Description
Join us as we celebrate the launch of The Night-Soil Men, a gripping historical and political fiction by Bradford author, Bill Broady.
Delve into the tumultuous origins and evolution of the Independent Labour Party, the working-class political movement born in Bradford in 1893. Through the captivating narratives of three central characters—passionate Fred Jowett, ruthless Philip Snowden and the unforgettable Victor Grayson—Brody weaves a tale of ambition, loyalty and betrayal.
Spanning four decades, The Night-Soil Men transports readers through the socialist fervour of turn-of-the-century Britain, the upheaval of World War I and the shifting landscapes of the interwar years. Amidst the backdrop of social change and political intrigue, Brody’s narrative brims with humour, passion and the gritty realities of life. This event is not one to be missed!
