A Slice of the Seventies tells the story of Jersey-born Mug, a troubled girl from a recently broken home. It covers her experiences as a teenager at the Isle of Wight Music Festival in 1970, the same year she follows a guru. The book tracks her tumultuous four years as an art student in Coventry, where vegetarian Mug finds herself living next door to an abattoir and a railway shunting yard with David, a fellow art student. Dramatic events follow on from the evening they first meet at a party where David is attempting to commit an extremely public suicide.

Whether you were around during that decade or not, you're bound to enjoy nostalgic A Slice of the Seventies. This third-person autobiographical book can be read as a stand-alone without having to read The Lying Scotsman, and Straws, books 2 and 3 of The Mug trilogy. An audiobook edition of A Slice of the Seventies is available.
