Back on track after the disappointing We Are All Made of Glue? Almost. This tale of children brought up in a left-wing commune is a deft commentary on the generation gap in a society of collapsed ideals. How can Serge betray his parents' principles and go into the City (without telling them)? And Clara, into conventional neat-and-tidiness after childhood's above-such-things messiness? Will their parents forgive them and mellow? Perceptive, witty and lots of fun.
