About this listen

Our need for identity can jeopardise what we hold most dear.

In a Yorkshire Dales village in the 1970s, best mates Michael, a boy with a strong sense of tradition and family loyalty, and Jack, a boy drawn to new horizons, are there for each other through traumatic childhoods.

But as they become men, set against the backdrop of Thatcher's Britain and the fall of the Iron Curtain, their struggles for identity and the intense rivalry between their butchers' shops threaten to destroy them.

Story telling interwoven with history and politics of the time and effects on the two protagonists, families and villagers. A brilliant listen, ably narrated by the author, was hooked from the start.
