Description
Billy Hopkins and his wife Laura return home to Manchester in December 1963 after five years abroad. The world has changed significantly since their departure: it's now the swinging sixties, with the Beatles and other cultural shifts making headlines. As Billy navigates the challenges of modern society, he faces new concerns about his family's well-being. The arrival of his four children, who are now choosing their own paths in life, adds to Billy's worries. His youngest son still believes in Santa Claus, while his daughter is reading popular magazines like Jackie. Meanwhile, Billy struggles to cope with the daily demands of being a college lecturer and caring for an increasingly forgetful father. As Billy tries to maintain a sense of normalcy, he must confront the reality that his family's lives are changing rapidly. This heartwarming novel explores the complexities of family relationships and the challenges of adapting to new times.
