Blue Mondays ebook | Mark Engineer

Some of the boys act like we re changing the world or something. Like the whole thing is something really deep and spiritual. Me, I see it for what it is a chance to get completely off me face. Welcome to Anywheresville UK, as the Second Summer of Love comes to a quiet commuter town. Meet the boys: Alex hates school and his father. He likes his mates, his drugs and the pub, but most of all he loves his acid tracks. Joe loves life on the margins, dealing and dreaming and drawing dole. But his girl s on his case, and he knows he must move on if he s to find the Promised Land. Danny enjoys the squalor and camaraderie of student life, but he s suffering from a lack of love. Meet Alex s father, policeman Graeme. He hates his job and his life, and a hostile son is all he needs. Meet his wife Angela, caught between them and beaten down by small town life. Listen as their voices tell of a year of risk, opportunity, triumph and disaster. Some will change their lives, if not the world. Others may have little to look back on, except for a succession of blue Mondays.
