Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1976. Two teenage friends, Julia and Suzy, are out for a good time in a nightclub in an ordinary northern town. By the end of the evening, Julia has paired up with Adnan and Suzy has fallen for Kelvin. And so their stories begin, as we follow their lives over the last three decades of the twentieth century - through marital breakups, broken dreams, betrayals, and divided loyalties. As they approach middle age in 2004, we find them together again, as they were on that first night. Capturing the zeitgeist of the late twentieth century and its turn into the next, this is a powerful and daring novel for those who are interested in the extraordinariness of ordinary lives: in Lives Less Ordinary.
