"man blir tokig om man inte har någon att vara med. Det gör detsamma vem det är, bara man får vara med honom. Jag ska tala om för dig, skrek han, att man blir sjuk om man är för mycket ensam.

I first read this book in high-school and the name of the book stuck with me but 20 years on I'd completely forgotten the storyline. Flash forward to a kindle 99p deal and a desire to revisit some of my childhood texts I gave this a go. Now I know why this book title stuck with me, it's depressing, challenging story filled with death, mental struggles, racism and misogyny is quite a memorable one. This 1937 book is well written, engaging, short and a page turner where white rich men rule all and everyone else tries to find their place inbetween. A historic piece of its time which will stick with me again I'm sure.
