Struan Robertson, orphan and 17, leaves his native town of Cuik and arrives in London in the fine summer of 1989. His job is to care for Phillip, dumbfounded and paralysed by a stroke. As the city bakes, Struan finds himself tangled in a midsummer's dream of mistaken identity, giddying property prices, wild swimming and passions.

A 17 year old goes to take care of a writer he used to admire and who had a stroke. It should be interesting. It just isn't. I'd expect more in depth of the idyosincrasies of the Scottish/English, of the age difference, of the social class, of anything. It left me waiting all the while, and bored to tears while at it.
