Kelvin is 33, he lives in a small town in Lancashire, he has five close friends. Because their houses were cheap to buy they inhabit wonderful dwellings and they still have plenty of spare cash to spend on other things, they travel all over the region going to all manner of art events - plays, concerts, comedians, pretty much whoever comes to a nearby town they'll go and see them. They have a wonderful life - it doesn't last. After the catastrophe Kelvin is faced with huge questions: does art have a purpose? Can every sinner be redeemed? What is a good life? *** Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction; General; ISBN: 0340767685. ISBN/EAN: 9780340767689. Inventory No: 17090082.. 9780340767689
