Ronald Blythe
Akenfield
New York: Pantheon, 1969.
First printing.
Blythe's classic portrait of a Suffolk village in the 1960s, still medieval in many of its rhythms, astonishingly isolated in a time that was about to be swept away.
He allows the inhabitants to speak for themselves and builds up a picture of country life that stands for all times.
