The Century
By Michael Molloy
Synopsis
The Saga of a Newspaper
When World War I ends in 1918, Matthew Devlin determines to make a name for himself in journalism.
Success seems guaranteed when he marries newspaper proprietor Lord Medlam's granddaughter, but their ill-fated relationship does not survive. Matthew, however, will never willingly relinquish his hold on The Century, and is drawn into bitter struggles for control of it.
These are momentous times, with the rise of the Nazis, the General Strike, the outbreak of World War II, and the long harsh road to recovery. During seventy-five eventful years in Fleet Street, Matthew encounters a rich and widespread cast of characters-earning himself both intense loyalty and bitter hatred along the way.
