I mentioned "A Raging Calm" in another thread but I think the writer was the late Stan Barstow

In case you weren't aware the Granada TV series of A Kind of Loving actually adapted all three novels. I saw this when first shown. Clive Wood and Joanne Whalley were excellent. It's available on DVD. I prefer the film version simply because Alan Bates was fantastic.

I enjoyed this series and wish that they would bring it out on DVD. Alan Badel was a very talented actor.

I don't like to recommend books but it's a great read
