Children of the Sun

Meer over het boek

In 1970s Britain, 14-year-old Tony is entranced by the racism and brutality of the skinhead movement. From white-power rock gigs and race riots to clandestine homosexual encounters, Tony rages through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s while the far right fragments around him. Early in our new millennium, James, looking for a good story, develops a fascination with closeted neo-Nazis that will bring the narratives of these two men into startling collision. This is a novel of great imaginative sympathy and range, an extraordinary portrait of an alien Britain and of life lived beneath the radar.
