Seventeen Seventeen Jerome - Softcover

In the hills above Los Angeles, Paul and Laurie have made their home. Together now for seven years they have settled here; Paul with his lucrative skin-cancer practice; Laurie pregnant with their child. But when the fires start, the cinders find their way through the air-conditioning, and when they are kept awake by the noise of the helicopters bobbing in and out of the body of the city, Paul and Laurie begin to feel the fracture in their lives reflected in the fault-line of the real world below. Setting the suburban American Dream face to face with the American nightmare of inner-city race-riots, Richard Thornley has created an unforgettable novel, written with the accuracy of reportage, the speed of film and the skill of a master story-teller.
