A tough and funny first novel from a talented young writer who depicts a London that is instantly recognisable but all too often ignored in current fiction.
A perceptive, sometimes hilarious account of the stresses and rewards of Jamie's life as a professional housing officer working in east London's front-line. The grey deprivation, casual violence and small delights of London are detailed through the pangs of disappointed love, troublesome colleagues, even more troublesome tenants, sink-estate racism, violence, crime and insanity.
