Library of Wales: Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve

Widely acclaimed for warm humour, lyricism and honesty, as well as its accurate evocation of the thirties, Ash on a Young Man's Sleeve has become a sung-after classic. In this delightful autobiographical novel, Dannie Abse skilfully interweaves public & private themes, setting the fortunes of a Jewish family in Wales against the troubled backcloth of the times.
