While pits close and dole queues grow, a couple of runaways find \u003ci\u003eHeaven\u003c\/i\u003e in 1980s London. And today the paparazzi chase a love story that could tear a family apart. Then a grieving mother gets lost up a mountain, with a vicar for some dubious consolation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a unique richness of texture and range, \u003ci\u003eCanary \u003c\/i\u003ecombines pathos and humour with a wildly ambitious scope crossing decades through cyclical family histories.

Skilfully pulling these wide-ranging threads together, \u003ci\u003eCanary\u003c\/i\u003e provides a social overview of Britain during the last 50 years, with a focus on the struggle against homophobia.
