## Description

Buddy has a hopeless father who is an ageing rocker, interested only in Elvis and bikes, and living on the fringes of the under-world. When Buddy's mum walks out, the two manage to strike up some kind of relationship - until Buddy realises that his dad is involved in something more serious than he suspected. A moving, totally convincing account of a boy's faltering relationship with his father, in an evocative and well-drawn Eighties Britain.
