"27 (Twenty-Seven): Six Friends, One Year" by R.J. Heald is a well constructed and rounded story about six friends and their lives during exactly one year. Dave is made redundant on his 27th birthday which forces him to look closer at his life. At a reunion in London more of the six characters are brought in and the comparison of their lives and their entanglements illustrate the issues faced by their generation in a recession hit UK.The characters are well chosen and their lives and fortunes were engaging and thought provoking. This is a slow burner with great substance and depth.
