Written "in fine steel sentences and granite paragraphs" (Washington Post Book World), Melvyn Bragg brings to a stunning conclusion "one of the finest sagas of postwar Britain" (London Sunday Telegraph). Set in the 1950s, this absorbing novel follows the intertwined fates of people crossing boundaries in their lives. A teenager, Joe Richardson, falls in love with Rachel, whose life threatens to be wrenched from its roots. His parents, Sam and Ellen, are facing the frontiers of middle age, while Joe finds himself steered to new exhilarations and dislocations as the world outside home beckons. Increasingly intoxicated with Rachel, Joe is swept into situations that seem beyond his control. Alive with a wide cast of characters, Crossing the Lines vividly portrays the spirit of the mid-century and the profound changes taking place at the time, in morals, religion, music, and class. Moving and evocative, this masterly novel and the two that have preceded it are being hailed as contemporary classics.
