A Kind of Loving

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Kind of Loving is a novel by the English novelist Stan Barstow. First published in 1960, it has long been used as a set text in British schools. It has also been translated at various times into a film of the same name, a television series, a radio play and a stage play.

A Kind of Loving was the first of a trilogy, published over the course of sixteen years, that followed hero Vic Brown through marriage, divorce and a move from the mining town of Cressley to London. The other two parts are The Watchers on the Shore and The Right True End.

The 1982 Granada Television series (starring Clive Wood as Vic) although entitled A Kind of Loving, covered all three novels in the trilogy.
