Eternity Is Temporary - Softcover
This work is suitable for anyone who sweated their way through the summer of '76, and readers of Jonathan's Coe's The Rotters' Club, Martin Amis' Success, and Ian McEwan's The Cement Garden. It's the long, hot summer of 1976 and Adrea is falling in love for the first time, while nursing the decrepit residents of Heron Close, a care home in Chalk Farm. This is the summer that sees Blue Oyster Cult and Supertramp superseded by Patti Smith and the Stranglers, and as the heat rises in and out of the Roundhouse, the lives of residents and carers alike are about to blister and burn. And right in the midst of all this humdrum squalor, like the sun's rays beating back the darkness, are Adrea and Evan, about to let in the light and heat—with inflammatory results.

"'Full of drifting imagery, heady with the fever of first love, city heat and rock'n'roll, and bursting with off-kilter characterisation...' Metro"

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Perhaps happiness and sadness just shade into each other and what really matters is the intensity of the feeling?' wonders Andrea, happily disoriented by first love while nursing the apparently decrepit residents of a north London care home . . . While her matron fights with sailors and her deputy drinks to remember of forget, the two oldest residents knit out and unravel their strange destinies. The days speed up and slow down; time stretches and snaps. It's the entirely intense summer of 1976, that sees Blue Oyster Cult and Supertramp superseded by Patti Smith and the Stranglers .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 young and old alike are about to blister and burn. It's the summer of 1976 and Adrea is falling in love, while nursing the decrepit residents of Heron Close, a care home in Chalk Farm. This is the summer that sees Blue Oyster Cult and Supertramp superseded by Patti Smith and the Stranglers, and as the heat rises in and out of the Roundhouse, the lives of Heron Close's residents and carers are about to blister and burn.
