The Hired Man (Tallentire Trilogy 1), Melvyn Bragg

Set in Cumbria and covering the period from 1898 to the early twenties, this is the powerful saga of John Tallentire, first farm labourer, then coal miner, and his wife, Emily. John's striving to break free from the humiliating status of a 'hired man' is the theme of a novel which has been hailed as a classic of its kind.
