'A dazzling new voice bursts through the tired old glass ceiling of English fiction. Belinda Webb is a writer to watch.' Will Self

'Remarkably confident...Webb delights in playing linguistic games.' New Statesman

'Dark, highly lyrical...this brave, pithy debut kicks you in the face.' Dazed and Confused

Belinda Webb's extraordinary novel takes us to a dystopic Manchester, where the gangs are female, the state's control is exercised through addiction therapy, and Alex's solace is in high literature and postmodern deconstructionism.
