Four Londoners out of 8 million - through a series of coincidences their lives begin to intertwine...
Set in the 'halcyon' days of the late nineties, heading towards the great millennium . . . Going out in the midday sun is part one of a trilogy spanning twenty years, in which the heroes are challenged with the everyday - love, babies, earning, family disputes - as well as a new life in France, a communal enterprise, astonishing amounts of bureaucracy, duck gizzard salad, and possibly the end of the world.
