Up to Scratch

Ian Enters

4.9/5 (18939 ratings)

Description:The illegal sport of dog-fighting is the subject. Beneath the damp skies of industrial Yorkshire, pit bull terriers and crosses fight to the death in "mains", trained and cheered on by men who desperately need this gladiatorial combat. The dogs, vivid images of muscle and will in the dusty half-light, represent a pupose and power that the men have lost. The book focuses on a young boy, Brett, as he follows his father into this murky underworld. The novel is a story of a boy's ritual preparation for a brutal world, and an elegy for the fragile threads of humanity mired in attitudes and behaviour destructive of family and friends. That there is resolution and hope stems from a sister, Cassie, her friend and the loyalty and love Brett finds in his own dog.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
