Description

In the sleepy English village of Worcestershire in 1982, thirteen-year-old Jason Taylor navigates the complexities of adolescence against the backdrop of a changing world. Through a series of exquisitely observed vignettes, this novel captures the essence of a single year filled with firsts—first cigarettes, first kisses, and first encounters with mortality. As Jason grapples with family strife, local dramas, and the distant echoes of the Falklands War, he embarks on a poignant journey of self-discovery. This is a deeply resonant exploration of memory, identity, and the quiet moments that shape a life, rendered with David Mitchell's signature wit and profound insight.
