A brilliant coming-of-age novel about drinking, depression and the pain of first love from the critically-acclaimed winner of the Betty Trask and Somerset Maugham Awards.
Gwendoline Riley was born in 1979 and has published several successful novels- Cold Water, which won a Betty Trask Award; Joshua Spassky, which was shortlisted for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize and won the Somerset Maugham Award; and, most recently, Opposed Positions.
Original and beautifully written... An inspiring book that you
won't forget
*Big Issue*
A blinding follow-up to the award-winning and much-acclaimed Cold
Water... A joy to read and a read to treasure and pass on
*Scotsman*
A portrait of an artist, a writer observing herself living. As such
it is quite breathtaking
*Times Literary Supplement*
Riley's prose powerfully articulates the drinking, the depression,
the itchy ache of growing up and the misery of first love... One of
Britain's most original young writers
*Observer*
This is a young writer of immense promise
