A brilliant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the
Cold War and events leading up to the Cuban Missile Crisis. Clem
Ackroyd lives with his parents and grandmother in a claustrophobic
home too small to accommodate their larger-than-life characters in
the bleak Norlfolk countryside. Clem's life changes irrevocably
when he meets Frankie, the daughter of a wealthy farmer, and
experiences first love, in all its pain and glory. The story is
told in flashback by Clem when he is living and working in New York
City as a designer, and moves from the past of his parents and
grandmother to his own teenage years. Not only the threat of
explosions, but actual ones as well, feature throughout in this
latest novel from one of the finest writers working today.
