Men in Love

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Choose life. Choose love? The Trainspotting crew fall for rave and romance in Irvine Welsh’s blazing new novel.

‘Propulsive, hilarious and bittersweet in equal measure’ GQ

It’s the late 1980s. 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 begins an intense relationship with Amanda – rich, connected, his ‘princess’. When the pair set a date for their wedding, he 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?
