Hitting The Groove Paperback – 5 July 2001

Matt Lewis, on the cusp of forty, is a Beatles-obsessed journalist on a provincial northern newspaper who is about to discover the meaning of change. Having accepted a job offer to go and work on a national paper in London, he and his family find themselves adjusting to life in Crouch End with varying degrees of success. One of his first writing assignments brings Matt into contact with Lawrence, a serial philanderer who shares Matt's passion for 1960s pop trivia. Soon Matt is drawn into uncharted waters - staying out late, neglecting his family, flirting with infidelity. But does recapturing his youth, or even creating it anew, really have to be a part of Making It in the Big Smoke? Warm, witty and wise, GROOVING UP SLOWLY is a hugely enjoyable debut.
