Long but riveting, this is the highly original story of a group of young student and dropout friends who live together in Maida Vale (London) and spend much of their time climbing out of their top-floor window and exploring the rooftops of the area. Gradually fear, violence and treachery enter their lives, destroying the delicate equilibrium they have established. Wonderful descriptions of London seen from an unusual angle. A cliffhanger of a climax.
