Most days, Christy, Paddy and Kevin lie around listening to Dexys and Joy Division.Through a fog of marijuana, beer and budding romance, the future is distant and unreal. But this is Derry in 1981, and they can't ignore the turmoil of the outside world.

With humour and compassion, Geraldine Quigley reveals the sometimes slippery reasons behind the decisions we make, and the unexpected and intractable ways they shape our lives. 'A novel that is warm but also unsettling and exhilarating.That's some feat' Roddy Doyle'A poignant and powerful coming-of-age story' Sunday Mirror
