About the book
A dazzling portrait of English adolescence in 1984. David Mitchell follows Jason Taylor, a thirteen-year-old boy facing the typical chaos of puberty, bullying, self-discovery, and the mysteries of the adult world around him. Structured in twelve thematic chapters, the novel captures with comic precision and sharp melancholy the small dramas that define that threshold between childhood and maturity.
With lyrical language and memorable characters, Mitchell transforms an ordinary year into a profound study of vulnerability, identity, and the delicate art of growing up.
