Room at the Top

"Remember the name John Braine. You'll be hearing quite a lot about him. Room at the Top is his first novel and it is a remarkable one . . . it's a long time since we heard the hunger of youth really snarling and it's a good sound to hear again." - *Sunday Times*
"The most discussed, debated and lauded first novel of the year." - *New York Times*
"This novel is brilliant . . . The observation is shrewd and the emotion and the comedy are so true it hurts." - *Daily Express*
