An Ordinary Life by Edmund Gubbins

I wrote this novel after thinking about the way many people justify whatever actions they take. They think whatever they do is justified by their motives. 

One chapter of the novel discusses the tensions in the British Labour Party in the early 1980's. It is the same as the present time with loyal Labour me,bets shouted down in meetings by hard left marxists. 

Money laundering is illegal. Even Tom Houseman knows that. He, as an academic, makes a distinction between helping somebody to set up legitimate business and the source of the money. In the end Tom has to face up to the consequences of what he is doing.

The novel follows the life of Tom Houseman from his growing up on the edges of a council house estate, through his going to university, unheard of where he lives, to his academic work. Does his rise up the social scale stem from his efforts alone or help from his aquaintances?
