Description
Awaydays by Kevin Sampson is a powerful and poignant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of 1970s England. For two young working-class men, Carty and Elvis, life revolves around their football team and the violent mob that follows them to away games. As they navigate the fashion, music, and mayhem of their world, they must confront the intensity of male friendships and the desire for a different future. This evocative novel explores the complexities of identity, circumstance, and the bonds between men. With its unflinching portrayal of a time and culture, Awaydays is both a powerful tribute to the past and a deeply human story about finding one's place in the world. Quickly gaining cult status upon its initial publication, this book has become a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the urban experience of 1970s England.
