Wonderful storytelling
- Paul Merton,
A book to cherish, a book to reread, a book to buy for all your friends
Independent on Sunday
Very funny... a compulsive and gripping read. Coe has achieved that rare feat: a novel stuffed with characters you really care for
The Times
One of those sweeping, ambitious yet hugely readable, moving, richly comic novels that you find all too rarely in English fiction ... a masterpiece
Daily Telegraph
WINNER OF THE EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE
__________
Birmingham, England, c. 1973: industrial strikes, bad pop music, first love, corrosive class warfare, detention, IRA bombings.
Four friends: a class clown who stoops very low for a laugh; a confused artist enthralled by rock; an earnest radical with socialist leanings; and a quiet dreamer obsessed with poetry, God, and the prettiest girl in school.
Unforgettably funny and painfully honest, The Rotters' Club is perfect for readers of Nick Hornby and William Boyd - or anyone who ever experience adolescence the hard way!
