Clapham High Way

Alex knows the truth is out there. He knows he wants to change the way he lives but he hasn’t a clue where to start. The time is 1999 and his friends are partying like it is. Alex knows it won’t last. The tricky thing is finding his way out with the minimum casualties. Shannon is the girl Alex needs to be with, it’s obvious but she’s committed to the strange and oddly disturbing Richard. Rachel is the girl Alex shouldn’t be with and is the mirror Alex needs to see his life in sharp relief. Over a roller-coaster year at the end of the Millennium Alex finally finds out that fulfilment is not found in the arms of another or in a hedonistic lifestyle but in finding your true expression in life. It captures a special period in the annals of clubbing, which resonates more than any magazine feature would due to the emotional connection it gives the reader with the characters. And surely, that is one of the main goals of any good novel? Colin Butts, author of ‘Is Harry on the Boat?’
