Book description

and Maureen Buck s ailing marriage and their climb up (and down) the
social ladder during the 1980s is a wonderfully honest portrait of
ordinary people living through an extraordinary time. Steeped in the
decade s cataclysmic events, packed with the crimes and misdemeanours
we visit on each another, Rumours of a Hurricane is a
powerful tale of change, how we face it and how we don t.
An outstanding comic novel. Places the 1980s under sceptical and
merciless scrutiny Literary Review.
