Product Description
by Mj Gunn (Author)
A group of young friends embark on a journey of University life in the Windy City of Southampton '94 to '97. The catalyst of the new music scene 'BritPop' surrounds them in a culture that knows no bounds as the broken promises of youth arrive. The nation holds its breath for a revolution in nightclub nights, secret desires and fears, rolled up into the city lights, music and drug culture, where the biggest generational queue of the decade waits. Excess in one hand and depression in the next, having achieved too much too soon, each day begins to merge into one. Soon time becomes frozen in thoughts of redemption and moving on, in a city that begins to haunt their steps and memories as a clock ticks to the end of an adventure they cannot change. It begins to dawn on them - what happens when you can't party anymore? The world was other people's problems, all that concerned them was what time to get up, go out and spend. A different promise to a new 'Cool Britannia' of music and ultimately of themselves, what 'if' had finally arrived. A goodbye to youth, to music, to free money, responsibility awaits, the longest goodbye.
