A Skyhook in the Midnight Sun by Fiona Cooper
When Caz Hewson chucks in her London life and moves north, she isn?t sure what to expect. From her council flat in Galleon Heights on the edge of Newcastle, riding high above the desolate urban landscapes of post -Thatcherite Britain, she discovers to her surprise a warm community and a living history that help her come to terms with the tragedy of her past. Fiona Cooper boldly incorporates elements of fairy tale and legend into her portrayal of Britain in the 90s to produce a novel that is complex as well as comic, savage but full of sympathy.
?Surprising, tender and ingenious.. proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is a writer to be reckoned with. A thoroughly absorbing book - quite the best I?ve read for some time. Time Out ?Shows a real perception of human emotion and an ability to strike resounding chords on the heartstrings...it has a feel of Tales of the City - an absorbing, endearing tale, witty and humorous throughout?
