Description
Alan Warner's Kitchenly 434 is set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's rise to power in 1970s England. A sprawling Tudorbethan mansion, Kitchenly Mill Race, serves as the idyllic retreat for rock star Marko Morrell, guitarist in Fear Taker. However, when two young girls arrive at the estate clutching copies of the band's LPs, the tranquility is disrupted. Crofton Clark, the butler tasked with maintaining the household, finds himself on a romantic misadventure that unravels the fantasies he has been living by. As the story unfolds, Warner explores themes of delusional male behaviour, loneliness, and the search for self-awareness in the face of changing times. This novel is a poignant portrayal of life in the English countryside during the Golden Age of Rock, where the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred.
