"Nights Below Station Street, is a bitter story, woven by the complexities of the working class. The characterization is raw, and the Richards has a gift for creating true anguish that people feel when dealing with the often oppressive episiodes of life. I highly recommend this book. One of the best books I've read in quite a while."
