Card
Denry Machin has nerve. That's his gift, his weapon, his magic. Born the son of a washerwoman in the grim Potteries of industrial England, he refuses to accept the station the world has assigned him. Through sheer cheek, boundless optimism, and an uncanny instinct for the main chance, he elbows his way upward: from office boy to businessman to the youngest mayor his town has ever seen. Bennett writes with sharp, affectionate satire about a man who understands that success isn't about merit - it's about the audacious act of reaching for it. The book crackles with comic energy, skewering class pretensions while celebrating the indomitable spirit of a man who decides, simply, that he will not remain ordinary.
