Insurance salesman George Bowling takes a day off work to pick up a new set of teeth. He´s had a win at the races. Life should be grand. But he is stuck in a rut - portly, middle aged, with a wife and children in the suburbs - and this morning he forgot to wash the soap off his neck. In a bid to rekindle childhood memories, George returns to the village of his youth, only to be surprised by what he discovers there. Written on the eve of World War II, Coming Up for Air is a humorous, insightful look at the culture of interwar Britain - a world about to change forever...
