Read OnlineTragic and hilarious in equal measure, Tim Lott�s story of Charlie 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.
