“I dipped into the book – and got hooked”

Three people unsatisfied with their lives leave home, meet a falling-apart performing troupe, and reinvent themselves as The Good Companions. J.B. Priestley’s long comic story of a now-bygone Yorkshire has had devoted British fans for many years, and inspired film, radio, TV, and theatrical adaptations in the UK.

The book has made less of a mark in the US. That could change in 17 days, when it joins the public domain here, years before it does most anywhere else. #PublicDomainDayCountdown

  1. @everybodyslibraries.com Oh, wonderful! I have loved this book since I read it as a teen – and that was almost 50 years ago. When I'm feeling blue, this is my "comfort read".
