It-s January 1982, and Britain will soon be at war with Argentina. But that-s not why Terry-s life is falling apart. Forty-five and recently redundant from the only job he-s ever had, he and his wife Pat are forced to sell their home and move into a static caravan.
The only chink of light is the unlikely success of the White Hart darts team, but Terry-s teammates face problems of their own: Phil suspects his wife is having an affair, while Tom-s is depressed about their inability to conceive. Then Terry-s son reveals some surprising news, and Terry makes a visit to the doctor that leaves him with no choice but to consider what matters most in his life.
Slings and Arrows is a funny and moving novel about love, family, friendship - and darts.
