|summary=My name is Justin Alexander Torquhil Edward Peregrine Montague, but my father calls me 'you little bollocks', or ‘you bloody twit’ or when he is in a really good mood, 'old cock'.
With this opening line, Mark Macauley clearly establishes his tone. Just entering his teens, Justin is the youngest of three children in a dysfunctional Anglo-Irish family. It is June 1963 and the US President, John F Kennedy, is visiting Ireland – his parents and their servants are very excited, although Justin is wrapped up in his own preoccupations, including a growing sexual awareness and his best friend Annie.
