really liked it
bookshelves: novellassci-fi

Another Dystopia set in England during the 1950's, what is it about that just post war period which conjures up such ideas?

Anyway I enjoyed reading Down To Earth, which is not quite what it at first seems to be. The clues are there but easily misinterpreted.

No spoilers, the story begins with young Jenny Threadneedle beginning her career as a primary school teacher and ends with elderly journalist, Mr Thark, going in search of a library. 

A lot more can happen between these two events than you might expect!

Andrew Crowther's story is entertaining and well written without being wordy. Is this a novella or a short novel? I don't know if there are any rules.
