It's the story of a talented teenager. He lost his twin brother when he was two but he still 'communicates' with him. His parents, old hippies are artists and failures at the same time and they separate at the beginning of the book. All Gabriel's efforts are devoted to bringing them back together. Will he succeed? I'm not going to tell, but Kureishi's book is moving and well written.
