Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1966, A Man of His Time continues the chronicles of the Oldroyd and Morcar families, which began with Inheritance and The Rise of Henry Morcar, to complete an unforgettable trilogy of the West Riding. The years of change from 1958 to 1965 present Henry Morcar with the severest challenges and trickiest assignments of his life as he surmounts successive disasters only to find his life's work threatened. A Man of his Time is a story of conflict between age and youth, between Morcar and the younger generation around him. These descendants of Oldroyds, Bamforths, Morcars and Mellors are real and living, linked to the past but vibrantly imagined in their own time.
