Peerless Flats by Esther Freud
Sixteen-year-old Lisa has high hopes for her first year in London. But squeezed into a temporary council flat with her bohemian mother and a little brother obsessed with foxes, she is not off to the best start. Ambitious to be more like her elusive, glamorous sister, Ruby, who lives life to the full, Lisa trails through the city, dabbling with drugs and romance, and refusing to lose faith in her belief that something fantastic will happen to mark the rest of her life.
'She describes monumental life events simply, which makes them more powerful' Sophie Dahl 'A delightful read' The Times 'Attending to Esther Freud's still, truthful voice becomes not only a pleasure but a necessity' Jonathan Coe 'Freud has drawn her characters with great affection and her light touch ensures that a tone of brave sweetness is maintained throughout This is the spirit which makes Peerless Flats so touching and enjoyable a novel' Evening Standard
