13/05/13: Beryl Bainbridge – Injury Time (1977)


A very nicely observed slice of comedy and drama. Extremely well written, with amazingly perceptive observations about human relationships. The brilliant sideways turn in the plot (about halfway through) brings into even sharper focus the quirks and peculiarities of the great characters who have been so well established early on. It would make a great film or play.
