**These lovers fled away**: These Lovers Fled Away moves freely in space and time. The career of chad Boothroyd, the narrator, begins in the South of Cornwall in the last years of Queen Victoria's reign. It ends in the Home Counties at the close of the second World War. Through this longo period of momentous stress and change - from the horse drawn cab in which Uncle Arthur makes his first appearance, to the atomic bomb which Chad's friend Billy Pascoe helped to develop - the narrative moves from Cornwall to the dales of the West Riding, to Oxford, Manchester and London. As is usual in Howard Spring's longer novels, what carries the reader on is not contrived "plot" or complication of incident so much as human life itself, rolling along with its even tenor broken by humour and pathos, by beauty and sadness, and now and then shaken by tragedy. So it is here, in full measure.
