Estate agent Frankie Blue is known on his home turf — White City, Shepherd's Bush — as 'Frank theFib'. He's a liar — but one who always tries to tell the truth. He has been friends with Diamond Tony, a hairdresser, Colin, a computer nerd, and Nodge, a cabbie, since schooldays. Now they are thirty, and trying to live the same life as they did then — drinking, girls, coke, and football. But Frankie is bored. He's decided to carry out the great 'betrayal' — he's going to get married. From the moment he tells his mates, the whole patchwork of their friendships begins to collapse — revealing the sad, shocking but often hilarious truths that lie underneath.

Tragic and hilarious in equal measure, Tim Lott’s story of Charlie and Maureen Buck’s ailing marriage and their climb up (and down) the social ladder during the 1980s is a wonderfully honest portrait of ordinary people living through an extraordinary time. Steeped in the decade’s cataclysmic events, packed with the crimes and misdemeanours we visit on each another, Rumours of a Hurricane is a powerful tale of change, how we face it – and how we don’t.
