About this listen

Clodagh was 19 when her parents packed her off to college and a relative’s house in Maida Vale, two years after the death on the pylon. They blamed her for it, everyone did....

It was hardly surprising that she fell into the arms of Silver. In his flat at the top of his parents’ house, he played host to a strange crew of young drop-outs whose pleasure was to range the rooftops. It was a happy, heady time until the moment when, on a trek 50 feet above the street, they looked into a window and saw a scene that was to lead to tragedy.

The story was long. It tells the story of young people who like to travel on the roofs of London; of a wealthy young man whose many friends share his flat. It isn't terribly exciting, not filled with laughter. A bit boring really for a 12hr book. Beautifully narrated.

A long, long tale
