Summary

Alternately hilarious, shocking and sad, Crystal Jeans' latest novel is set in Cardiff. But perhaps not the Cardiff the urban planners would use in their shiny advertising campaigns. Lit up with authentic characters and appealing voices, and the full gamut of human relationships platonic, romantic and sexual this is an unputdownable journey into the underside of contemporary Wales. -- Honno

The Homeless Heart-Throb by Crystal Jeans

Hilarious, shocking and sad, Crystal Jeans' latest novel is set in Cardiff. Each chapter is narrated by different characters linked by the street on which most of them live and the appearance in them all (to greater or lesser extent) of the title character the alcoholic vagrant who for one of the neighbours is an unusual subject of desire. Set in various homes, streets and parks, and a nearby care home for the demented elderly the story lines are darkly humorous and occasionally rude and crude, this is an unputdownable journey into the underside of contemporary Wales.
