Hi. Trying to remember the name of a book recommended to me on holiday. About a boy growing up in 1980's and called something like red man brown-definitely has colours in the title. Thanks

Black Swan Green?

"A novel of boyhood on the cusp of adulthood and the old on the cusp of the new, tracking a single year of 13-year-old Jason Taylor's life in Worcestershire in a dying Cold War England, 1982."

Jo, I moved your thread down to Unsolved so that you will get more people looking at it.

[Jo]

That is fantastic thank you!!

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

You're welcome.

Rebecca, you need to start a new thread. Otherwise people are going to be confused! File your new thread under "Unsolved."

[Rebecca]

YES! That's it! Thank you!

Now we just need to find the title of Jo's book.

[Diana]

Is Jo's book Black Swan Green? I wasn't sure what her comment was in reference to.

[Ann aka Iftcan]

No, the comment was in reference to Rebecca finding someone who knew HER book.

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

I thought Jo @4 meant Black Swan Green was her book.

[Ann aka Iftcan]

I thought it was in reference to moving her thread. But it could be read either way. Will send off a PM to find out which it is.

[Lobstergirl, au gratin]

I believe this is solved? At least, the book got shelved.
