5 out of 5 quills Runaway by Peter May ** A Review
I loved this new offering by Peter May. It’s the story of young boys’ dreams and old men’s memories. Set in 1965 and 2015 the story is unique as four old men retrace their boyhood travels, to London, seeking fame and fortune.
Jack, Maurie, Dave and Jeff have been friends for over fifty years. As youths they were an obscure boy band from Glasgow, Scotland. They run away from home, certain that they are the next rock and roll phenomenon. Maybe not the Beatles but certainly as good as The Replacements. And from that moment on there is never a dull moment….that’s too bland a description…events on this journey change their lives forever. Muggings, free wheeling mental institutions, LSD, and Rock and Roll.
Old, sick, defeated the human spirit carries on. Now fifty years later the same quartet, now men in their seventies and eighties, repeat their harrowing adventure.
Peter May never disappoints with his slightly off center view of the world. I am a huge fan!!! This is a ‘must read’ book.
