The Back of the Book

When Percy and Betty harlency abandon their seedy Streatham pub for the Copper Kettle Tearoom in Kent, life for their daughter, April, changes dramatically. She is befriended by the wonderfully dangerous Ruby, whose red hair and brutal home life emphasizes her love of fire, and by thte creepy but immaculately dressed Mr Greenridge, who likes to follow her around the village. Mingling the innocent with the sinister and laced with the tragic and the bizarre, this is a rare evocation of a 1950s childhood.

Look at this! The first book specifically sent to Plymouth's first OBCZ! Thank you so much!

RELEASE NOTES:

Now to be found in Hudson's OBCZ.

I picked this delightful read up in Hudson's coffee shop in Plymouth. I chose it because of the colour of the cover - very highbrow! I thought I'd made a mistake after the first few pages as the author is very descriptive about flora and fauna. However, I persevered and the book was indeed a "rare evocation of a 1950s childhood". I took to April and Ruby and followed them on their adventures and tribulations - read it and feel for them.
