| Publisher Description: In 1984 areas of Britain resembled a police state. Simon and Lindy, 'lovers against the bomb', are peace activists drawn into the yearlong miners' strike. For them it is a time of fear, laughter, homemade wine, and home grown dope. A world of collection buckets and button badges, peace camps and picket lines, Labour Party meetings and non-violent direct action workshops. It's a time of constant opposition to the state and self discovery. Through it all Simon revisits the Seventies, his days of expensive haircuts and fawn safari suits, alcohol and affairs, and his first encounter with Lindy. In All Beginnings captures the times through acute observation and satire. |
