J. Cronin's fourth novel, published in 1935, and this tale of a North-Country mining family was a great favourite with his readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Fenwick is a miner, and so are his three sons. His wife is proud that all her four men go down the mines. But David, the youngest, is determined that somehow he will educate himself and work to ameliorate the lives of his comrades who ruin their health to dig the nation's coal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is, perhaps, a typical tale of the era in which it was written—there were many novels about coal mining. However, Cronin, a doctor-turned-author, had a gift for storytelling, and in his time wrote several very popular and successful novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the magnificent narrative tradition of \u003cem\u003eThe Citadel\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHatter's Castle\u003c\/em\u003e, and Cronin's other novels, \u003cem\u003eThe Stars Look Down\u003c\/em\u003e is deservedly remembered as a classic of its age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071860162796,"sku":"9781035069514","price":29.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7e2c0815ba9963058a90aee5af49adc3.jpg?v=1765077736","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-stars-look-down-by-a-j-cronin-9781035069514","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
