THE TOP FIVE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Choose life. Choose love? The Trainspotting crew fall for rave and romance in Irvine Welsh's blazing new novel.

'Propulsive, hilarious and bittersweet in equal measure' GQ

It is the late 1980s, the closing years of Thatcher's Britain. For the Trainspotting crew, a new era is about to begin - a time for hope, for love, for raving.

Leaving heroin behind and separated after a drug deal gone wrong, Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie each want to feel alive. They fill their days with sex and romance and trying to get ahead; they follow the call of the dance floor, with its promise of joy and redemption.

Sick Boy starts an intense relationship with Amanda, his 'princess' - rich, connected, everything that he is not. When the pair set a date for their wedding, Sick Boy sees a chance for his generation to take control at last.

But as the 1990s dawn, will finding love be the answer to the group's dreams or just another doomed quest?

Rezensionen

The arrival of Trainspotting was an earth-shaking cultural moment and it had a huge influence on me... It shines with humour and friendship. Every character here is alive DOUGLAS STUART, Booker Prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo (on Trainspotting)

Like all his best work, Men in Love is propulsive, hilarious and bittersweet in equal measure, as wise on the curdling of intense teenage friendships as it is on the early, doomed attempts we embark on in our twenties to settle down and fall in love GQ
