Choose life. Choose love? The Trainspotting crew fall for rave and romance in the blazing new novel from the No.1 bestseller.

It is the late 1980s, the closing years of Thatcher’s Britain. For the Trainspotting crew, a new era is about to begin – a time for hope, for love, for raving.

Leaving heroin behind and separated after a drug deal gone wrong, Renton, Sick Boy, Spud and Begbie each want to feel alive. They fill their days with sex and romance and trying to get ahead; they follow the call of the dance floor, with its promise of joy and redemption.

Sick Boy starts an intense relationship with Amanda, his ‘princess’ – rich, connected, everything that he is not. When the pair set a date for their wedding, Sick Boy sees a chance for his generation to take control at last.

But as the 1990s dawn, will finding love be the answer to the group’s dreams or just another doomed quest?

Old friends

I have been reading the authors work since I was a teenager, I remember seeing them so differently, a view on a world and people I did not know, the difficulty I had initially with even reading and understanding. Now this is my first time with an audio book from Irvine Welsh and it has been a revelation. The book itself is beautiful, the audio book format and performance brings such an element to the story telling I am now going to revisit his other books where available to enjoy them this way.

I could not reccomend this enough, it was a joy, thank you.
