Set in the fictional town of Ashurst in south Lancashire in the early sixties, against the background of one of the worst winters in living memory, One Winter is a vivid and humourous account of working class life at home, work and play, and written against a background of romance, rock 'n' roll and rugby league.

“I found it warm and authentic and an enjoyable read.” - Stan Barstow

"Incredibly readable" - Wakefield Express

“Geoff Lee tells it as it really was – characters with a hard, tough approach to life but with a warmth, a companionship, a sense of humour and an outlook which made it a pleasure to live and play rugby league in a Northern town in that era.” - Ray French

“A novel that rings true with an authentic voice of the northern working class in the 1960s” - Tony Collins

"An evening spent within its pages is like an evening spent in a snug somewhere, with a pint at your side and some friendly old bloke with a tale to tell. A tale you want to hear." - Tony Hannan, Total League
