Tim Jeal's sixth novel, first published in 1983, recreates the
frenetic Britain of the 1960s for an enthralling tale of three
people bound together by a risky experiment conducted amid the
pop-cultural ferment of the era. Paul Carnforth is young, wealthy,
titled, and alive to the opportunities of his times. 'You don't
have to like pop to find it interesting', he tells his sceptical
wife. He decides to fashion a pop star of his own - as a 'moral
swipe', also proof of his individual brilliance. But the creation
soon threatens to outgrow his creator. 'Pop music, working class
heroes, record companies, music publishers and stately homes as
settings for orgiastic settings, it's all here ... Mr Jeal writes
comedy very well.' Irish Times 'In his well-organised narrative
Jeal judges wittily the extra touches needed by a novel about our
times.' Birmingham Post
