It's the long, hot summer of 1976 and Adrea is falling in love for the first time, while nursing the apparently decrepit residents of a north London care home. This is the summer that sees Blue Oyster Cult and Supertramp superseded by Patti Smith and the Stranglers, and as the heat inexorably rises inside and outside the Roundhouse, the lives of residents and carers alike are about to blister and burn. Published to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the birth of punk and the reopening of the legendary Roundhouse, this is the real experience of punk, in a novel of real literary ambition.
