Jason Taylor is thirteen and stuck in the deadest village in the dullest county of darkest Cold War England. But with a stammer, bullies and simmering family discord to contend with, plus the Falklands War, village hysteria against a gypsy encampment and these mysterious objects known as girls, 1982 will prove to be anything but boring.
A subtle, painful, elegiac, wry novel about the ‘gap year’ between childhood and adolescence, about a faded era, and about knowing what you don’t know you know.
