WINNER OF THE CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD PRIZE
SHORTLISTED FOR THE PORTICO PRIZE
Now featuring Andrew O'Hagan's moving essay on the real-life friendship that inspired his beloved, award-winning novel.
Everyone has a Tully Dawson: the friend who defines your life.
In the summer of 1986, James and Tully ignite a friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over, they rush towards a magical weekend of youthful excess in Manchester, played out against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded. And there a vow is made: to go at life differently.
Thirty years on, the phone rings. Tully has news.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This book will change your life and challenge your values. You'll laugh, then weep til you're weak like a baby.'
