National Provincial Category_Grey Books/Cookery Books and in 1889 Sir LesliePREFACE BY RACHEL REEVES 624pp ISBN 9781910263204 National Provincial (1938) is first and foremost a social political novel, a sprawling panorama of West Riding life and politics in the mid 1930s as Rachel Reeves, MP for Leeds West, writes in the Preface. This 600 page book begins with an enticing description of the central character's arrival home (Lettice Cooper draws us so inexorably into the Aire world that we are gripped from the first line).
