There is an ancient Chinese curse (quite possibly apocryphal): "May You Live in Interesting Times." As Peter Saunders suggests in this final volume in his Croydon Boy trilogy, the period since 1990 has certainly been 'interesting.' Radical Islamists hi-jacked four jets and aimed them at New York City and Washington DC. The world financial system almost collapsed. Scientists warned that the planet was incinerating.

There is an ancient Chinese curse (quite possibly apocryphal): "May You Live in Interesting Times." As Peter Saunders suggests in this final volume in his Croydon Boy trilogy, the period since 1990 has certainly been 'interesting.' Radical Islamists hi-jacked four jets and aimed them at New York City and Washington DC. The world financial system almost collapsed. Scientists warned that the planet was incinerating. Men started wearing dresses and claiming they were women. Britain tore itself in two over Brexit. Russia launched a war in Eastern Europe. And our phones became smarter than us. Tip-toeing his way through this mounting chaos and confusion, Peter Saunders also had problems of his own to sort out. Who gets the classic Penguins when you get divorced? How do you break-up with old friends when you've grown apart? Can pornography help mend a broken heart? Is an allotment really the answer to a happy and fulfilling retirement? And can the secret of the meaning of life be found in a place called Southbridge Junction? In this final volume of his Croydon Boy series, Saunders bring's all the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime's immersion in sociology to bear on the crucial question: How do you survive creeping old age when the world around you is going potty?
