  • Welcome
  • to
  • The
  • King
  • George.You
  • know
  • it.
  • Your
  • old
  • local.
  • Back
  • in
  • the
  • day.The
  • stink
  • of
  • beer
  • and
  • piss,
  • sticky
  • carpets,
  • nicotine
  • stains
  • on
  • the
  • ceiling,
  • soggy
  • bar
  • towels,
  • and
  • the
  • chance
  • of
  • a
  • punch-up
  • on
  • a
  • Saturday
  • night
  • or
  • anytime
  • for
  • that
  • matter.And
  • in
  • amongst
  • it
  • all
  • an
  • awkward
  • 20-year-old,
  • trapped
  • behind
  • the
  • bar,
  • with
  • nothing
  • to
  • do
  • but
  • pull
  • pints
  • and
  • wait
  • for
  • the
  • next
  • fag
  • break.Until
  • he
  • finds
  • Amy.
  • And
  • life.
  • And
  • an
  • escape
  • if
  • he
  • dares.From
  • West
  • Midlands
  • writer
  • Shaun
  • Hand
  • comes
  • a
  • comedy
  • novel
  • set
  • in
  • a
  • Birmingham
  • pub,
  • well
  • Sutton
  • Coldfield
  • to
  • be
  • precise.
  • Funny,
  • poignant
  • and
  • unflinchingly
  • honest,
  • The
  • Sadness
  • of
  • The
  • King
  • George
  • captures
  • the
  • moment
  • when
  • the
  • easy
  • idealism
  • of
  • youth
  • collides
  • with
  • the
  • hard
  • realities
  • of
  • conservative suburbia.
