The exquisitely crafted new novel from the Man Booker-shortlisted author of THE CLOTHES ON THEIR BACKS - the thoughtful and engaging story of a London family from the late sixties to the present.
In 1968 Stephen Newman arrives in England from California. Sent down from Oxford, he hurriedly marries his English girlfriend Andrea to avoid returning to America and the draft board. Over the next forty years they and their friends build lives of middle-class success until the events of late middle-age and the new century force them to realise that their fortunate generation has always lived in a fool s paradise.
