Mayflies

Author(s): Andrew O'Hagan

General Fiction | Keith

Everyone has a Tully Dawson: the friend who defines your life.


In the summer of 1986, James and Tully ignite a friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over, they rush towards a magical weekend of youthful excess in Manchester played out against the greatest soundtrack ever recorded. And there a vow is made: to go at life differently.


Thirty years on, the phone rings. Tully has news.
