Full description for No More Angels

• From Ancient Greece, via contemporary Britain, into the future, from childhood to old age and beyond, the stories in "No More Angels" capture the idiosyncrasies of modern life. A train ticket seller livens up his day by telling Lockerbie victims' relatives that his surname is Lockerbie. A widower struggles to keep his family on the tracks after the death of his young wife, becoming obsessive about order and routine to the point of madness. A schoolboy counts down the days, hours and minutes to a friend's party, all too conscious of the realities of the popularity game. A house tour is conducted with the unspoken stench of parenticide hanging in the air. Comic, tragic and sometimes both, Butlin explores individual lives with a lightness of touch that cuts right to the heart. A dramatic follow up to Butlin's acclaimed "Belonging", "No More Angels" is a captivating celebration of human frailty.
