The Madonna of Bolton
Cain, Matt2019
Book
Charlie Matthews' love story begins in a pebble-dashed house in suburban Bolton, at a time when most little boys want to grow up to be Michael Jackson, and girls want to be Princess Di. Remembering the Green Cross Code and getting out of football are the most important things in his life - until Auntie Jan - who everyone says looks like the blonde one out of Bananarama - gives him a gift that will last a lifetime: a seven-inch single called 'Lucky Star.' On his 9th birthday, Charlie discovers Madonna, and falls in love. And his obsession sees him through some tough times in life: being persecuted at school; fitting in at a posh university; a glamorous career in London; finding boyfriends; getting rid of boyfriends; growing up; and family heartbreak.
