Book Synopsis

Luther Stringer is the titular head of a Yorkshire working-class family of wife and three daughters – one married, one engaged, one a student.His middle daughter’s “fiancy” is in bad odour with him for refusing to participate in a strike and being sent to Coventry. This dissension, however, pales into insignificance before the hornet’s nest that is stirred up when Luther’s eldest daughter discovers in her father’s pocket a packet of “electronically tested” contraceptives. The women’s reaction is instant and their vengeance terrible, but the result is unexpected and perhaps unwelcome. Stringer’s Last Stand, however interpreted, may not be as cataclysmic as Custer’s, but – it certainly shakes up a Yorkshire household.
