I found myself utterly absorbed in the lives of these two very different characters. There was a great deal of British culture in there, and it’s interesting to see how things change because I was just being born when the whole thing kicks off, and yet it ends only a few years ago. It’s not the sort of book I think you can describe in a few sentences, without living it, the impact is lessened.
