The book uses colloquial speech, and its portrayal of petty thieving, sexual encounters, births, deaths and back-street abortion provided a view of life that was previously unrecognised by many people. The book won the 1963 John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize.

Adaptations edit

In 1965 it was adapted for television by the BBC as part of The Wednesday Play anthology series directed by Ken Loach.[2]

A cinema film version followed in 1968 with a soundtrack by Manfred Mann.[3]

The television version of the play was the inspiration for the 1979 Squeeze hit "Up the Junction".[4]
