Notting Hill – 1978. Dave Kelly and Andy Zymanczyk are classmates at a strict Catholic school. Both, desperate to escape their stifling backgrounds, get part-time work in the local cinema.
Here they form a binding friendship and, with the help of one charismatic cinema manager, embark on a voyage of discovery. Dave falls in love with Rachel, a Jewish girl who also wants to escape from her strict religious background, while Andy falls for a girl he knows he can never have.
When the cinema is threatened with closure, the boys realise that more than their new-found freedom is at risk…

Intriguing...irresistible
An endearing and captivating book
Original and comedic...very cool, very pithy
The only novel I've ever read that tackles the fundamental issues of God, Irishness, advertising, love and cab driving all at once. Fast-moving, witty and highly digestible, it slips down like a fresh Eucharist wafer
The feel-good factor of an Ealing comedy and some beautifully executed one-liners
Wonderful. Paul Burke is a natural storyteller and genuinely funny
