Rumours of a Hurricane

Présentation de l'éditeur 1991, London. A street drunk is rushed into casualty, the victim of a horrific traffic accident. He carries a social security card, a digital watch, and a torn and yellowed newspaper cutting - an obituary. But his relatives cannot be traced. How did he end up here? To answer that we need to go back to 1979, a time before the Big Bang, before Margaret Thatcher came to power, before greed became good, before the hurricane. Biographie de l'auteur Tim Lott is a journalist and writer. His previous books are The Scent of Dried Roses, which was awarded the Jr Ackerley Prize for Autobiography and White City Blue, which won the Whitbread First Novel Award. He lives in London.
