One is the hideous Florian Bavington, aged 13 but already a master of low-level disruption. The other is the disturbingly alluring Natasha Bavington, Florian's mother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrama unfolds as Charles accompanies Florian and the rest of Year 8 on the annual school trip to Egypt, a country which just happens to be on the brink of revolution. The Arab Spring is underway but the tour party's problems are only just beginning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRydon Hall captures brilliantly the spirit of an all-boys' school - and those who teach there. The recklessness and over-confidence of Florian and his friends are in turn both hilarious and exasperating. Very funny but also very dark, this novel is about desperation, disappointment, self-delusion and every parent's worst nightmare. It is also about global terror, bogus celebrity, Skype and excruciating sex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46458054475927,"sku":"9781999596385","price":1046.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781999596385.webp?v=1769183966","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rydon-hall-9781999596385","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
