Fiction with a Bristolian voice as distinctive as that of Irvine Welsh's Edinburgh or Niall Griffiths' Liverpool. This novel tackles a taboo subject head on and with humanity, to show the truth of marginalised modern-day lives. In dialect voices that create a claustrophobic domestic world, this is a novel about family life gone very wrong.
It''s Shawnie Brewer''s 13th birthday and her Ma Lisa is on the White Lightning; her psychopath of a dad behind bars. It''s left to Jason, her ruffneck brother to tell her, ''I loves you Shawnay.'' She loves him too, with a love that''s badly messed up. That summer Cockney wide-boy Steve settles into the household on Lurgan Walk and their lives get nastier still. It''s not long before Lisa''s too far gone with drink and despair to hold any appeal and Jason is on the rampage - bloodthirsty, cunning, wild. Shawnie''s doing her best to keep the family in order, but they have other plans for their ''little superstar''.
