Prospect Hill by Richard Francis

Costford, 1970: Trevor Morgan is a Labour councillor with magical teeth and political flair. But his marriage is in crisis, and he seeks help from an unexpected quarter: doughty middle-aged May Rollins, Tory councillor living with the demented mother she always hated.
PRAISE FOR TAKING APART THE POCO POCO: 'A comic novel with a heart and soul, the kind of book one always wants to read but can never find' Nick Hornby 'A deliciously funny book.' Observer 'A superb comic chronicler of ordinary emotions and ordinary lives. A delight... definitely a book to devour in one go.' Time Out 'Brilliantly conceived.' Ruth Rendell 'A delight. These are lives illuminated by a compassionate and original story-teller.' Shena Mackay PRAISE FOR FAT HEN: 'A subtle, remarkably and acutely imagined novel.' Daily Telegraph 'Hilariously inflected characterisations knock most of the generic competition clean out of the coop.' Sunday Times
