A Norfolk Man (paperback)
In the quiet countryside of post-war Norfolk, Nicholas Hutton's world is turned upside down when he's sent away to boarding school at just eight years old. As he navigates the challenges of adolescence, Nicholas finds solace in his passion for cricket and football, even during the societal upheaval of the 1960s. Thrust into the heart of tumultuous events, Nicholas confronts the gritty realities of factory work and political protests, facing life-altering consequences that will shape his future. A Norfolk Man is a story of growing up, resilience, and the enduring power of home.
