Book set in the late 70s/80s

[Caroian]

I'm looking for recommendations of books set in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It is a period that I love reading about partly, and simply, because it reminds me of my childhood, but also because I like looking at things from an adult perspective set at a time where I was still lost in childhood innocence, if that makes sense!

I've particularly enjoyed authors such as Isabel Ashdown, Esther Freud and Maggie O'Farrell in recent years... other authors or specific books to try?

Northern Clemancy

The tent the bucket and me...
Utterly hilarious if you were a kid in the 70s. We had a proper camping toilet though 😄

One day by David Nicholls

The boy with the top knot by Sathnam Sanghera is really good on this. It's his childhood as a Sikh boy growing up in Wolverhampton (iirc) at this time. Lots of funny memories which resonated with me as well as a poignant reflection on his family.

The House We Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell.

One Day was more late 80s/90s to 2000s wasn't it?

I love Jonathan Coe's novels.

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby

Or Billy Elliot - I think there's a book as well as the film

It's set in the future so may not be what you're looking for but Ready Player one by Ernest Cline is full of references to 80s TV, music and video games and us a great read.
I loved it.

How about this one: Fallout by Sadie Jones (title of the blogpost, London, 1970s revisited: www.tripfiction.com/novel-set-in-london-1970s-revisited/)
