Despite their seemingly unbreakable bond, the Crazy Eight – Rambo, Mad Dog, Vern, Fatty, Garth Garlic, Boggo, Simon and Spud – have not kept in touch. Or at least, not as far as Spud knows. When he receives an invitation from the school to attend the ten-year reunion weekend, Spud is determined to avoid the event at all costs, but he hasn’t reckoned with the bombardment of intrusive messages and threatening phone calls from his former dorm mates.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK: Se doresc, se amăgesc, își fac griji despre sex și despre lumea în care trăiesc.

Alice, romancieră, îl întâlnește pe Felix, care lucrează la un depozit, și îl întreabă dacă i-ar plăcea să meargă cu ea la Roma. În Dublin, prietena ei cea mai bună, Eileen, trece printr-o despărțire și începe din nou să flirteze cu Simon, pe care îl știe încă din copilărie.

I ragazzi sono destinati a Cambridge e Oxford, a carriere importanti, mentre i loro genitori rimangono impantanati nel loro mondo di matrimoni sciovinisti, scontri sindacali, guerre di classe e di razza, di ignoranza culturale.

Dal cassetto del mio comodino sbuca un portafoto in plastica arancione pieno di fotografie brutte, ed è subito estate del 1990. C'è Claudia con la frangetta e un paio di occhiali da sole con lenti fumé, Gina un po' più magra e con i capelli bagnati sciolti sulle spalle, io con gli occhiali da vista e sottile come un orbettino. Lulù era già andata via. Mi ricordo gli anni dopo la sua fuga, quella strana assenza mista a sollievo. Non sapere dove fosse e cosa stesse facendo era inquietante, ma la vita senza di lei era diventata più semplice, almeno per noi.
