All Together Now?
by Mike Carter
(Guardian Faber, £14.99)
MIKE CARTER is the son of Pete Carter, former militant building worker and Communist Party industrial organiser, who was responsible for the 1981 People’s March for Jobs from Liverpool to London.
Carter had been alienated from his father and refused to join the march, despite the latter’s pleading, and to find closure in his troubled relationship but also as a means to explore what has happened to England in the meantime he decided to complete the march route himself.
