Description
The adolescent Christopher and his soul-mate Toni had sneered at the stifling ennui of Metroland, their cosy patch of suburbia on the Metropolitan line. They had longed for Life to begin: meaning Sex and Freedom – to travel and choose their own clothers … Then Chris, at thirty, starts to settle comfortable into bourgeois contentment himself. Luckily, Toni is still around to challenge such backsliding (back cover).
