This novel was written in 1991 and is a rags to riches story that has plenty of spills and spoils along the way.
The story concerns Charlie Trumper who wants to follow his grandfather by having the biggest barrow in the world in Whitechapel, London in the ealry 1900's. He works hard and finds a very supportive wife. However he has made an enemy who tries at all times to keep Charlie down. The book moves along well and you want to read of how Charlie overcomes each adversity.
A thick and engrossing novel that is worth a read.
7/10 from me.
