Description

This was the last Howard Spring novel to be published in his lifetime, and it features a remarkable character in the form of Alice Openshaw. Orphaned at the age of twelve, Alice is forced to work as a servant in a class-ridden society. However, her harsh experiences only serve to fire her indomitable spirit. Winds of the Day spans both World Wars and traces Alice's moves between Manchester, Cardiff and London.
