Description
Birmingham, England, 1973. A time of industrial strikes, bad pop music, and first love. For four friends, this was a year that would change them forever.
Benjamin Trotter, the class clown, stood by his mates through thick and thin. There's also the artist, enthralled by rock; the earnest radical with socialist leanings; and the quiet dreamer, obsessed with poetry, God, and the prettiest girl in school. Together, they navigated the ups and downs of adolescence.
Jonathan Coe's iconic novel is a hilarious and heartfelt celebration of growing up. With its richly comic characters and moving storylines, it's a worthwhile read for anyone who's ever experienced the trials and tribulations of teenage life.
