Rumours Of A Hurricane by Trent Lott

A vivid portrait of 1980s Britain, following a working-class couple whose aspirations for a better life collide with deindustrialization, consumerism, and political upheaval. As the nation moves through riots, privatization, boom-and-bust economics, and shifting social values, their relationship frays, revealing the cost of ambition and the allure—and emptiness—of newfound wealth and status in a society remaking itself.
