About this product

Product Information

'Full of incidental insights...consistently intelligent.' - Martin Seymour-Smith, Financial Times 'A sharp satirist of class and family...arrestingly grotesque and finely compelling...its power lies mainly in its inconsequentiality.' - Valentine Cunningham, The Observer For Bill and Pete, friends since school, 60 is a defining moment, forcing a reappraisal of life as urgent as it is unexpected. But if there is no turning back, can they move on, taking wives, girlfriends, children and each other, along for the ride? Or, transformed in body and mind, must they return to Go, dreaming, however late in the day, that life can start over again? 'I read it again, and again with pleasure and admiration. It's a very funny novel...The throw away wit is an ongoing bonus; the dialogue crackles; I almost think you've invented something - the short four- or five-line conversations standing like islands in the story, half a dozen comments and retorts like little explosions - nothing wasted, every word a neat and sometimes savage barb. And all funny in spite of the pain.' - Maurice Gee, winner of the James Tate Black Prize for Plumb
