Surplus to Requirements

About this book

Surplus to Requirements takes the reader of historical fiction back to the last days of the Victorian era when mass immigration impacted the changing face of Britain. The story comes alive with the working class of London's East End impacted by two world wars, five monarchies, and a parade of suffragettes, British Fascists, and labour movements, all having a bearing on the rise of a new post-war generation.Readers of the first two George Rudge novels will find the story of his grandparents of particular interest, but the work is self-contained providing a good entry point to the series.
