A group of squatters rebel against Mrs Thatcher and erupt into
violence in this politicised novel from the author of 'The Golden
Notebook'. In a London squat a band of bourgeois revolutionaries
are united by a loathing of the waste and cruelty they see around
them. These maladjusted malcontents try desperately to become
involved in terrorist activities far beyond their level of
competence. Only Alice seems capable of organising anything.
Motherly, practical and determined, she is also easily exploited by
the group and ideal fodder for a more dangerous and potent cause.
Eventually their naive radical fantasies turn into a chaos of real
destruction, but the aftermath is not as exciting as they had
hoped. Nonetheless, while they may not have changed the world,
their lives will never be the same again...
