Howard Spring byl nesmírně populární a úspěšný autor, který se těšil široké čtenářské oblibě v letech 1940 až 1960.

Jeho přístup byl pečlivý a profesionální; každý den si do své pracovny uzamkl a napsal tisíc slov. Svou jedinečnou hlasovou linku, literární význam a to, co činí jeho dílo pro čtenáře jedinečným, lze popsat jako mistrovské vyprávění příběhů s hlubokým porozuměním lidské povaze.

What a place it was, that dark little house that was two rooms up and two down ... I don't remember to this day where we all slept, though there was a funeral now and then to thin us out. This is the powerful story of two hard-driven men – one a celebrated English novelist, the other a successful Irish entrepreneur – and of their sons, in whom are invested all their fathers' hopes and ambitions. Oliver Essex and Rory O'Riorden grow up as friends, but in the years after the Great War their fathers' lofty plans have unexpected consequences.
