Description

WINNER OF THE EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE
__________

Birmingham, England, c. 1973: industrial strikes, bad pop music, first love, corrosive class warfare, detention, IRA bombings.

Four friends: a class clown who stoops very low for a laugh; a confused artist enthralled by rock; an earnest radical with socialist leanings; and a quiet dreamer obsessed with poetry, God, and the prettiest girl in school.

Unforgettably funny and painfully honest, The Rotters’ Club is perfect for readers of Nick Hornby and William Boyd – or anyone who ever experience adolescence the hard way!

__________

‘One of those sweeping, ambitious yet hugely readable, moving and richly comic novels . . . a masterpiece’ Daily Telegraph

‘A book to cherish, a book to reread, a book to buy for all your friends’ Independent on Sunday
