Should have Irvine Welsh weeping into his overhyped beer (GLASGOW HERALD)
This new novel offers the reader a welcome return to the Greenside Estate, backdrop to THE SCHOLAR, Courttia Newland's highly acclaimed first book. New characters rub shoulders with some more familiar faces, and weaving through them all is Elisha, recently arrived in Greenside and keen to learn more about her neighbours' histories, especially the ones they're trying to keep secret. Some of their tales are tragic and some are farcical, some are shocking, others are inspiring. Several Greensiders find themselves out of their depth in drug deals and gun fights, others are trying to stay out of trouble and make their mark in life - through writing, through love, even through the pirate radio whose music provides the perfect soundtrack to all the events on the estate. With the same pitch-perfect ear for dialogue which he demonstrated in THE SCHOLAR, Courttia Newland tells real tales, that may be laced with violence but are also filled with hope and laughter.
