The tap dancer
Barrow, Andrew2023
Book
Everyone craves retirement from the Civil Service, don't they? That time for an ageing patriarch to enjoy the fruits of a well-earned pension and the respect of his family; maybe even to indulge in a love of music halls and metropolitan life. If only people would listen and do as they were told. His fourth son William, the long-suffering narrator, is the constant butt of his father's jokes and victim of his brother's indifference. But as death, divorce and other darker dramas follow, father and son slowly establish a strange harmony.
