I'd like to read more by Carlos Alba, but I have one quibble with the book which he might like to remember before his next work is printed. He's been let down by his publisher. There are a lot of typos which have gone uncorrected or queries from the proofreader which have not been resolved and they're frequent enough to be irritating. It makes a classy book that bit less classy. I'd still like to thank him for sending a copy to the Bookbag though.
For another look at the nineteen seventies, but from a rather different perspective you might like to read our review of [[Paper Houses by Michele Roberts]]. When you read ''Kane's Ladder'', you can't help but think of [[Jamie's Keepsake by Michael Gallagher]].
