Skint Estate by Cash Carraway
Brilliant, horrifying and really f***ing funny KATHY BURKE Give[s] powerful voice to the often silent story that explains so much of Britains current fracturing OBSERVER Im a scrounger, a liar, a hypocrite, a stain on society with no basic morals or so they say.
Explosive, funny and insightful.. You have to read it * Stylist *
Visceral, high-octane prose, a cocktail of Irvine Welsh and Charles Bukowski with a splash of feminist polemic ... Skint Estate is a full-throttle dispatch from the front line of the war against the poor. * Morning Star *
Cash Carraway's unique voice, filled in equal measure with rage and inspiration, tells a story of hope amongst state violence. Brilliant and compelling. * Anna Minton *
This is a raw, painful, funny book. And it rings true. Cash Carraway is a real writer, who shares her extraordinary story with a developing sense of politics. Her writing bursts with energy, wit and anger - it might be too strong for the Radio4 Book of the Week, but it is essential reading. * Ken Loach *
What an astonishingly brilliant memoir. I’m speechless. So beautifully, passionately written without a shred of self-pity and brim full of this unbreakable mother daughter Love at the heart of it all... Raw, gut-wrenching and immensely moving. * Ruth Jones *
