Brought to you by Penguin.

Unforgettably funny and painfully honest, Jonathan Coe's tale of Benjamin Trotter and his friends' coming of age during the 1970s is a heartfelt celebration of the joys and agonies of growing up.

Featuring, among other things, IRA bombs, prog rock, punk rock, bad poetry, first love, love on the side, prefects, detention, a few bottles of Blue Nun, lots of brown wallpaper, industrial strife, and divine intervention in the form of a pair of swimming trunks.

Set against the backdrop of the decade's class struggles, tragic and riotous by turns, packed with thwarted romance and furtive sex, The Rotters' Club is for anyone who ever experienced adolescence the hard way.

A great set of stories, woven together in unexpected but still somehow casual ways. Great characters and an excellent performance by Nicholas Burns.

Clever and engaging

The Rotter’s Club was one of my favorite books that I read while at University. It is nice to see it come to life in such an engaging reading. Look forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Top notch story, excellent reading.
