About this ebook
Henry, now in the autumn of his years, is transported back to the key episodes of his life. At once ironic and affectionate, he speaks with his younger self both man and boy, offering warnings of a life to come and advice on how he might live it without the small self-delusions and regrets that leave him ultimately unfulfilled.
Warm, funny and entertaining Hock and Soda Water is a nostalgic lament for a life never lived.
