"It's 1987, and the Beatles are gathering in Liverpool for a reunion. It has been twenty-five years since John Lennon walked out of EMI studios during the recording of Please Please Me, taking George and Ringo with him. Paul has since become the world-famous Las Vegas entertainer Paul Montana, and he returns to a changed Liverpool for the first time since 1962, hoping to reunite with his boyhood chums. Father George, now a Jesuit priest, is recovering from a nervous breakdown; John is embittered and on the dole - his son Julian is a member of the semi-fascist National Front. Ringo lives on the earnings of his entrepreneurial hairdressing wife, while he and John sit in weekends with old rivals, Gerry and the Pacemakers. The streets are uneasy - the National Front has recently gone into government with the Tories. It is Lennon's curse that he can imagine what might have been."--Book jacket.
