'Most of [Storm Bradley] is your straightforward Life of Fred Sludge kind of novel, plodding through vicissitudes of two generations with a lot of moralising asides to the reader. The last third brings us to the Depression, and explains what to do about it and incidentally cure all society's ills.

'The Tomorrow of the title is represented by the last few pages [pp.276-282], in which after a change of government a new day dawns and, etc. The worst thing about the exposition of what was wrong with the financial system in the 1920s and 1930s is that very little has changed since.'
