Description:
Already Hailed As "Sharp, spry, and darkly funny from the first page to the last" (ForeWord), Bruce Robinson's debut novel traces the ecstasy and misery of 13-year-old Thomas Penman. Growing up in a bizarre household of eccentrics, including a mother and father who wage a silent war against each other, Thomas downs his first drink, smokes his first cigarette, pursues the beautiful Gwendolin Hackett -- all the while forming a special bond with his beloved, ailing Grandpa Walter, a World War II veteran prone to dark habits. Looking through his grandfather's collection of erotica, Thomas will learn secrets about his life that will change him irrevocably.
