Pulling Down the Stars - James Laidler

Charlie Lansdowne's life is going nowhere… fast. Trapped at home with his eccentric father, Roger, and his stroke-affected grandfather, Frank, he finds life a daily exercise in dysfunction as three generations of men strive to get along. But when Charlie meets the volatile and tempestuous Maxine – a surfer girl who works at the local abattoir – his life goes supernova. Friendships implode, passions ignite and death comes stalking in the night. <i>Pulling Down the Stars</i> is a story about the confusion of love, the longing for reconciliation and the need to pull our unrealistic dreams back down to earth.
