Peter Valentine Timlett

and his novel

A Man of Some Prospects

Poor George was too nice and too bumbling for the rough and ready life of Bermondsey

during the period 1919-1922, just after the Great War - and Victoria was too silly and too naive

A more unlikely pair to evolve together and survive would be difficult to find

* * * * * * * * * *

The formidable Mrs Rivers, Victoria's mother, ruled her grocer's shop, her daughter, her nasty

son Arthur, and poor George himself, with the iron will of an autocratic personality that made her

the natural enemy of virtually everyone, but particularly the market women, who, as often as they

could, engaged her in fierce verbal combat

Autocracy wedded to a set of unbending moral principles, however, is a challenge,and the surge

of life itself, in the shape of the handsome young Russian, burst the damn of her emotions and her passion

and brought her to a trargic end
