Reissue of his debut novel, set in Paris in 1968. Christopher and Toni are eager to challenge the constraints of suburbia, but middle age sees Chris settling into bourgeois contentment. From the winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction comes a magnificent portrait of youth and growing up. Christopher and Toni found in each other the perfect companion for that universal adolescent pastime: smirking at the world as you find it.
