About the Book

"The Broken Thread" is a rags-to-riches story, of an ambitious go-getter in the nineteen fifties. Jack Glover is determined to succeed in the textile trade, and the immediate post war years in Lancashire were full opportunity. By chance he gets an opening and starts to rise, but he innocently makes an enemy of a fellow employee, who believes Jack was responsible for his dismissal. This man bears a grudge which comes to haunt Jack, and is responsible for some of Jack s suffering and hard life. Early on Jack rejects romance to pursue his career causing later repercussions. When he is well up the ladder, he falls in love with a mill owner's daughter. Unfortunately, his father-in-law cheats everybody including his family, and flees to Hong-Kong, setting up in competition. Dark clouds of cheap imported textiles causes havoc, and the Government encourages the mill owners to close. Jack loses the mill and his job. Unable to get a similar one, he starts a clothing business, this due to a dishonest employee becomes a disaster. This rogue employee meets and sexually assaults Jack s ex-girl friend. Jack is made bankrupt by his old enemy, and the same man causes Jack to lose a lowly paid warehouse job. Poverty begets poverty, and Jack is in the gutter, but through a friend obtains a decently paid job, and because of a sudden death becomes a manager. This is the beginning of his climb to the great height of chairman of a large trading group, settling old scores on the way. In the twenty-year saga, the reader experiences jealousy, romance, suspense, humour and big business intrigue.

About the Author :
Walter Pennington was a textile salesman/designer in the 1950's era, and like thousands suffered redundancy and life disruption caused by the economics of that time. His own experience has been an inspiration for his fictional writings.
