Following A Change in Climate, this brilliant novel from the double Man Booker prize-winning author of Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies and The Mirror & the Light is a coming-of-age tale set in Seventies London.

It was the year after Chappaquiddick, and all spring Carmel had watery dreams about the disaster. Now she, Karina and Julianne were escaping the dreary north for a London University hall of residence. Awaiting them was a winter of new preoccupations – sex, politics, food and fertility – and a pointless grotesque tragedy of their own.
