The thoughtful and engaging story of a London family from the late sixties to the present, out now in paperback.
Born to hardworking immigrant parents in sunny suburban Los Angeles, Stephen Newman never imagined that he would spend his adult life under the grey skies of north London, that he would marry Andrea for convenience and stay married and would watch his children grow into people he cannot fathom.
For over forty years, he and his friends have built lives of comfort and success, until the events of late middle age and the new century force them to realise that they have always existed in a fool's paradise.
