One of my friends on another forum, a literature student in England, mentioned a book called Nice Work by David Lodge. It's supposed to be a more modern imitation of North and South, and also comparable to Howard's End. The protagonist is a woman who is a professor of English literature, especially dealing in the industrial novel. Her encounters with the manager of an engineering firm provide a link to Mr. Thornton.
Just wondered if anyone has read it, and what they think.
