The teen novel kicks off in Brighton 1962. Cool records and sharp fashions form the backdrop sounds and sights to this story of 15-year-old Naseem Al Yawar ('Naz'), a young man on the verge of adulthood and heading for his first experience of love.

The latter encourages Naz to write, directing him to read many authors including Henry Miller and John Steinbeck .

The world is opening up for Naz, but his Arab father - a moody, bitter man - is disappointed at what life has brought him and envious of his son's youth and freedom
