Plot: When Wilfred Feinburgh died after a car accident at the age of thirty-eight he was already widely known as an M.P. of high promise and as a brilliant light essayist. But only a few friends knew of his 'No Love for Johnnie'. the novel which he sent to us in manuscript just before his death. In fact, while he lay unconscious and dying, enthusiastic reports of the book were being made by our readers. Their excitement was understandable. This story of Johnnie Byrne, M.P., with its conflicting love-affairs and ambitions, is not notable only as a study of a weak and passionate human being. It can also claim to be the most important and controversial political novel of the post-war era. Its pictures of the men and women in the local Party 'machine' and in Parliament itself, is unlike anything written about politics before. But it has the shock of truth.
