The Small Back Room
Autor Nigel Balchinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2015
Sammy Rice is a weapons scientist, one of the 'back room boys' of the Second World War. A crippling disability has left him cynical and disillusioned - he struggles with a drink problem at home, and politics and petty pride at work. Worse still, he fears he is not good enough for the woman he loves.
The stakes are raised when the enemy begin to drop a new type of booby-trapped bomb, causing many casualties. Only Sammy has the know-how to diffuse it - but as he comes face to face with real danger, all his old inadequacies return to haunt him.
Can he, at last, prove his worth and put his demons to rest?

Recenzii
One of the hopes of British novel-writing . . . A writer of genius
The missing writer of the Forties . . . Balchin's professional skill gives a meaning to brilliance which the word doesn't usually possess
[An] inexplicably neglected author
Balchin writes about timeless things, the places in the heart
A little masterpiece like Nigel Balchin's The Small Back Room speaks to our own time, but with so much literary experience behind it
Balchin has been absurdly overlooked for too long
I'd place him up there with Graham Greene
A remarkable storyteller
A brilliant novelist . . . A writer of real skill
He tells a story gloriously
Balchin has the rare magnetic power that draws the human eye from one sentence to the next
Probably no other novelist of Mr. Balchin's value is so eminently and enjoyably readable . . . [He] never lets the reader down
Balchin has done so much to raise the standard of the popular novel
A superb storyteller
Balchin can tell an exciting story as well as any novelist alive
The novelist of men at work
He can always be relied on to give us the set-up magnificently
One of the best writers, and certainly one of the best stylists, to come out of the war years
Perhaps the most successful British author to emerge during the war
