Broken Time

Work:: Broken Time (S568102995)

Divided by class and united by passion, Broken Time tells the compelling story of one man's obsession with the spirit of amateurism and another man's determination to win at all costs. Set against the maelstrom of late nineteenth-century industrial strife, this resonantly modern clash leaves a rugby star, the Beckham of his day, an unwitting pawn in a ferocious battle for control of a game. In 1889, Monsey Parr was captain of St Helens Recreation Rugby Club and a household name throughout the town, but he wasn't happy. The directors of Pilkington's, who at the time owned the club, had stopped the working men from playing in the local cup tournament.
