The Vegetarian Tigers of Paradise by Crystal Jeans
Crystal's mother is a woman to be wary of; a diet of deep fried snacks has hardened her heart and her arteries. One misstep and Crystal is ordered to pack her bags; she's off to live with Freddy Krueger on the other side of the park. Near death avoided, back home with her mother, Crystal dotes on her pet bull terriers, struggles to keep her end up at a troubled inner city comp and begins to discover what life is all about. A heartwarming, occasionally scabrous insight into growing up in the 1980s.
Crystal Jeans was born and brought up in Cardiff. She lived in Bristol before doing first a Creative Writing BA then an MPhil at the University of Glamorgan. She works in a care home, which inspired a collection of poetry about dementia (Mulfran Press). She has been shortlisted for the Bridport Prize (2010), had poetry published by Seren Press, and two short stories published by New Welsh Review.
