The long-awaited sequel to the classic "The Glittering Prizes", which was adapted into a successful TV series starring Tom Conti. This novel was adapted into a major BBC Radio 4 production, the broadcast of which coincided with the hardback publication. Set in the late 1970s and 1980s, it continues the story of Adam Morris, now a successful novelist, and his many contemporaries, and the lives of their children. The culmination of a lifetime's experience by a major writer at the peak of his powers.
