Additional text

'A poignant and powerful swansong to the end of the twentieth century, to the demise of the wide-eyed, often drug-fuelled, innocence of the Summer of Love and Woodstock; an elegy to ideals and dreams lost. This is one of those rare books that fills me with awe and envy in equal measure' Matthew Harffy.
