	WESLEY JONES by David Arrowsmith A story set in 1970 about a school-day romance between a Catholic girl and a Methodist boy. I enjoyed reading David Arrowsmith’s first novel, “Wesley Jones”. The story flowed well and I could easily tell the different personalities and relationships of the characters. The story felt particularly poignant for me because I grew up in Auckland during the same era as Wesley. In fact it brought back some memories of those times. I would recommend Wesley Jones as an easy to read story about a teenager during the early seventies. Janet - receptionist ISBN 978-0-473-13519-5 CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT
