The Evergreen in red and white by Steven Kay

The Evergreen in red and white by Steven Kay

It is the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. Rabbi Howell of Sheffield United, the first Romani to play for England, knows his career is peaking and the only way is down. His fate seems to be a return to obscurity, literally and metaphorically: back down the pit, his life ruled by the winding wheel and the domestic pattern set by his wife, Selina, her parents and family. He then meets Ada and risks throwing away career, home - everything. Follow Rab, Selina, Ada and The United through this turbulent, historic year.

Kay, Steven: - Steve published his first novel, The Evergreen in red and white independently in early 2014. It was long-listed for the Historical Novel Society's 2015 Indie awards. It is based on the true story of Rabbi Howell, the first Romani footballer and his struggles to do the right thing, constrained by the morals of a northern Victorian town and torn between two women. He has also indie-published three, out-of-print classics and a short story collection. He has recently set up an authors' network: www.sheffieldauthors.co.uk to support and showcase local authors, and is working on novels three and four and other publications-in between his 9 to 5 distraction from writing. www.1889books.co.uk, twitter: @SteveK1889, http: //stevek1889.blogspot.co.uk/
