Wes D. reviewed on 1/31/2007 + 9 more book reviews

A wonderfully comic novel of life in a working class, immigrant section of London told through the lives of Archie Jones, his wife Clara, their daughter Irie and an assorted cast of friends and relatives. Amazingly, the gifted author was only twenty-five year old when she published it. It won many prizes including the Whitbread First Novel Award.
