A Ceremony of Innocence and its sequel Innocence Exploded concern the life of Mark Brookes and his family during the 1980's. These are adult novels with explicit sex scenes.
Two brothers are at home on
holiday much to the delight of their mother. It was the first time they had
been at home together at the same time for several years. Their father is the
union convener at the local shipyard and he leads the men out on strike against
proposed redundancies at the same time as the brothers arrive home. Though on
the surface both brothers support their father, underneath the surface there
simmers the stew of disagreement. Mark, the elder brother, is fresh from months
at sea as a ships officer and refuses to compromise his upwardly mobile
lifestyle or his friends for the sake of family harmony. He lives for the
moment and grabs any opportunity for happiness that might come along. He does not appear to weigh up the consequences of his actions.
Jim, freshly graduated from university, supports his father passionately and without question. He is far left in his philosophy and takes part in many protest rallies.
