Synopsis
Imagine - you're in your early thirties, settled and sensible, and wanting to move up the property ladder. Your parents - approaching retirement - have an enormous house which is, let's be honest, a bit tatty but worth squillions. Only your teenage sister Sorrel lives there now and she's just about to go off on a gap year. So obviously there's some money tied up there which your parents must be thinking of off-loading onto their children? Not a bit of it. The parents have every hope that they will grow old disgracefully. They plan to sell the house and go off travelling. They are, after all, unreconstructed sixties hippies and their main income derives from the songs they wrote back then for their (at the time) cult psychedelic soft rock band Charisma. So with the money from the house their intention is...blowing it!

From the Back Cover
Hippies from the seventies, Mac and Lottie made a ton of money in the days of their progressive soft-rock band Charisma. But they ve got little left apart from the large, rather grand but somewhat dilapidated house where they raised their family.
Mac and Lottie now decide, on a whim, to sell up. To travel the world in style as flash-packers, not back-packers and blow the lot.
However, their two elder children, now adults and far more sensible than their parents, see the house as their inheritance. Son Ilex fears they will come home to face a pension-deficient old age. Daughter Clover has plans of her own that involve a bijou second home in France, and the youngest, Sorrel, is looking forward to her gap year and would prefer to have a home to return to.
