Success changes to disaster and back again for Oliver Cherry. Along the way there’s a necessary and hurried change of persona and location, a table with seven sides, a ‘miracle drug’ as well as Oliver’s ongoing romantic penchant for larger than life, characterful women in their 40s and 50s. Set in the Swinging London heyday of the late 1960s this novel fully arouses the era, with its music, fashion and inventiveness centre stage. – In his second novel Clive Van Cooten has Oliver both loving and manipulating his family, Sprig, Mrs J and other new and unforgettable characters. If you’re a fan of comedy/drama this makes compelling reading. – A stage musical of this book is currently in production. Details can be found on www.clivevancooten
