It's All Right Now by Charles Chadwick
It is the 1970s and henpecked family man Tom Ripple is happy to wryly watch the world from his perfectly ordinary life in a perfectly ordinary suburb. But when his marriage fails and his family falls apart in the 1980s, self-deluded Tom must find a way of carrying on against an unexpected tide of change. And as his dry, witty and not always truthful asides take us to the heart of this wonderfully funny and ordinary man's life, he finds that by the 1990s both he and the world around him have changed utterly. An epic of suburban life and a debut of staggering scope, intimacy and warmth, It's All Right Now is full of funny and profound insights into the human condition together with an extraordinary sense of the revolution that have taken place in the world over the last thirty years. It is a wonderful book for anyone who feels they have lived through times of momentous change.
"'This novel is huge - in size (obviously), ambition, intelligence and heart' Jonathan Safran Foer 'A gripping narrative.' Guardian"
