Andrew O'Hagan

In the summer of 1986, in a small Scottish town, James and Tully ignite a brilliant friendship based on music, films and the rebel spirit. With school over and the locked world of their fathers before them, they rush towards the climax of their youth: a magical weekend in Manchester, the epicentre of everything that inspires them in working-class Britain

This book has filled the A Little Life hole in my heart. The first half of the book I didnt want to end, the second half I was dreading the ending. I sobbed and laughed with James and Tully. I adore them and this story.

The new Andrew O’Hagan novel ‘Mayflies’ is the best thing I’ve read in a long time. Already bought four copies for friends. It’s about friendship, time, the past, present and future. Half of it is based around a pilgrimage to Manchester. It makes you think about what is valuable. “The past isn’t really the past. It’s just music, books and films.” And it becomes even more powerful when you read how real and personal the story is and the novel becomes the most glorious elegy to a friend.
