Summary

"Very funny and original . . . I read it in one evening and laughed much of the time" SALLY EMERSON

"Consistently intelligent" FINANCIAL TIMES

"This beautifully observed tableau of an increasingly feverish English can be read in one enjoyable gulp" COUNTRY LIFE

Bill and Pete, best friends since school, are approaching 70 and now retired, but still meet regularly to chew the fat about sport, politics, their stagnant love lives, mutual friends and, increasingly, Bill's fractious relationship with his rebellious son Ivan.

Spanning the four years from the Brexit Referendum to the end of the first Coronavirus lockdown, we watch these characters, last seen in About Time, stumble their way through chaos, mistrust, generational differences and blossoming relationships, finding new life and unexpected happiness in uncertain times.
