J .Harrington, an academic in his early thirties, of considerable authority, whose life, for all its apparent fulfilment, is flawed by emotional failure. He has been left by his actress wife, and has settled for a kind of success - esteem within his faculty, an excellent book or two, a handsome house, a refusal to involve himself deeply with other people. ***When his professor suggests that a young woman academic might benefit from his help, and at the same time both his former wife makes contact and Harrington meets Anne, his relatively unsophisticated neighbour, the stage is set for major changes in his life. but will he be able to respond to them?' ***'We need Stanley Middleton to remind us of what the novel is about.' -Ronald Blythe ***'At first glance, or even at second, Stanley Middleton's world is easily recognizable. His novels are set in the Midlands and his men and women are mostly drawn from the middle classes, schoolmasters, solicitors, businessmen, often with their roots in that older, chapel-going, confined culture described and fulminated against by Lawrence's visionaries and David Storey's uprooted painters. The excellence of art, for Middleton, is an exact vision of real things as they are. And because he is himself so exact an observer, his world at third glance can seem strange and disturbing or newly and brilliantly lit with colour.' - A. S.

He was born in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire, in 1919 and educated at High Pavement School, Stanley Road, Nottingham, and later at University College Nottingham. Middleton started writing while at university and in 1958 published his first novel "A Short Answer". Alongside his work as an author, he taught English at High Pavement Grammar School for many years. In 1974, his novel "Holiday" won the Booker Prize. In 2008, "Her Three Wise Men" was published, this being his 44th novel, and the last to be published during his lifetime.' (Wiki) ***'In his mid-forties, Adrian Hillier has inherited money and uses it to support the arts, especially the local theatre. Feckless by nature, he has been deserted by his French wife and soon drifts into a liaison with his housekeeper - but the arrival in his life of Stephen, an elderly poet whose way of life could not be more different from Adrian's own, puts the question to him about this and other relationships. Meanwhile Stanley Middleton provides sympathetic portraits of two important woman characters: Elsie, who finds herself drawn to Stephen, and Alice, whose husband works for the company in which Adrian is a major shareholder. Seen partly through the eyes of a young boy, "Changes and Chances" is an assured novel about the passage of time in which mood, plot and dialogue combine subtly to produce a most sensitive exploration of the problems and opportunities which confront people as they grow older. ***'Stanley Middleton, co-winner of the Booker Prize for his novel "Holiday", remains one of the very few writers writing in English for whom, if he bothered to call them from the vastly deep, spirits would probably come' - Gay Firth (Quote and review quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the true first edition, in near fine condition. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
