Full description for Little Monsters

• How do you recover from something like that? Carol never quite does. Sent to live with her aunt, who barely tolerates her presence, Carol is grief-stricken, and all too aware she's not wanted. Desperate for love, but unable to ask for it, she nonetheless - and almost despite herself - finds it where she least expected. Her Uncle Joey is the only one to notice her when she's a teenager; years later, he's also the man with whom she builds a home and a life. But when Carol helps to rescue a young refugee from the sea, that life suddenly threatens to unravel, just as surely as it did when she was thirteen. Written in tight, spare prose, "Little Monsters" is a novel of creation, redemption and obsession; it's also the story of what it's like to experience the unthinkable - and what happens next.'Charles Lambert is a seriously good writer' - Beryl Bainbrdge. 'Sharp like sherbert, poignant and gripping' - Griff Rhys Jones. 'With exquisitely tender writing and quiet authority, "Little Monsters" is a powerful debut' - "Jill Dawson".
