Gorton, Manchester, 1930. Greyhound racing at Belle Vue, the buses going up and down Hyde Road, Peacock sirens going off every night at six.

This is Bessie and Sam Holloway's place, home for Nell and little brother Bobby and older step-child Violet. Precious visits from Dad's sister Benny, music hall Queen, trailing clouds of glory and whiskey, provide infrequent glimmers of pleasure. 'All right for some' grunts Bessie.

Nell grows up to work in a factory and there she meets Harry, who turns out to be a mean trombone player, a talent that will take him far, but not as far as poor feckless Bobby who eventually finds himself fighting in the Malayan jungle.

Spanning the twentieth century, 'Turn Again Home' is a poignant story about a brother and a sister and three generations of a northern working-class family.
