I took a load of books and videos off someone's hands through freecycle (local yahoo groups for offering stuff you don't want anymore to anyone who might want it - have a look, it's great). This is one of them.

The blurb reads:

"A little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing...

Innocent in the ways of the world, an ingénue when it comes to pop and fashion, the Elect of God of a small but committed Stirlingshire religious cult: Isis White is no ordinary teenager.

When her cousin Morag - Guest of Honour at the Luskentyrian's four-yearly Festival of Love - disappears after renoucing her faith, Isis is marked out to venture among the Unsaved and bring the apostate back into the fold. But the road to Babylondon (as Sister Angela puts it) is a treacherous one, particularly when Isis discovers that Morag appears to have embraced the ways of the Unsaved with spectacular abandon...

Truth and falsehood; kinship and betrayal; 'herbal' cigarettes and compact discs - Whit is an exploration of the techno-ridden barrenness of modern Britain from a unique perspective
".

The cover art is different from that shown here.

This copy has been an autographed by the author.

I enjoyed this. It's a page-turner that starts out witty and light but gradually leads the reader into something altogether darker.

RELEASE NOTES:

I left a hardback copy of this book here once before and it got journalled so let's see if the paperback is as lucky. :-)

About 18:45 I should think.

a very warm scene in the beginning - but most a the book to profane for my taste...to much everyday stuff. It hasn t touched me,,,
However, some funny moments are certainly there.

Recommended to left wing rationalists!!!
