A distinctive portrait of the fab four by one of the sharpest and wittiest writers of our time.

The '90s was the decade when British culture reclaimed its position at the artistic centre of the world. Not since the 'Swinging Sixties' had art, comedy, fashion, film, football, literature and music interwoven into a blooming of national self-confidence.

Continuing the story of Joe from A Son of War, this is the story of the rapid changes in his life from working-class Wigton to the rarified atmosphere of Oxford as he begins his studies there.

As all three strive to adjust, the bonds of love and loyalty become stretched to breaking point.
