Matthew - 5 stars
incredible book - gritty, heartbreaking, witty, clever, troubling but captivating and very transparent. It shows very clearly how traumas & bad circumstances can effect a child long term.
Raymond - 5 stars
Dark, disturbing, evocative, unforgiving and descriptive picture of a side of London I’ve never known. Just saying it like it is and giving room to make up our own minds.
