One of the best novels by a classic of English literature!
“Stars Look Down” is a book about major social problems in early 20th-century England—about those who yielded to temptations and those who stood firm against them, about the hard lives of miners, the struggle for justice, and greed and cruelty that breed death and grief. This is a novel about true love, about devotion and betrayal, about war, about the desire to follow one’s own ideals, and about lies told in order to elevate oneself. Light and darkness fight in every line. And the stars look down, where deep within the coal mines the true Sun flickers.
