Description
Flaming Adolescent is a poignant and heart-wrenching portrayal of English working-class adolescence in 1987. Set against the backdrop of the Miners' Strike, the novel follows John Watts as he navigates the challenges of growing up.
In this coming-of-age story, John's life is marked by poor decisions, isolation, and secrecy. As he struggles to find his place in the world, he begins to question his sanity when he hears the voice of his dead twin. Pursued by local football hooligans and discarded from his sporting team, John feels like the end of the world.
This powerful and thought-provoking novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the search for happiness in a changing landscape. With its vivid portrayal of small-town life and its exploration of the complexities of adolescence, Flaming Adolescent is a story that will resonate with readers.
