Synopsis
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.

From Booklist
A government grant takes lesbian artist Caz Hewson north to Newcastle and away from "the five, nearly six, best years of her life," spent in a London house shared after college with six art-school friends. She surprises herself by staying in the northern England city for years and transforming the last in a series of apartments--a reeking, filthy, rent-subsidized flat in the middle of post-Thatcherite blight--into a clean, freshly painted environment decorated with mythological dragons, flying pigs, and other whimsical creatures. Into her new setting come new friends, some earthly, some of another realm entirely; some many years her senior, some her contemporaries; and one from the past whom, with a survivor's guilt, she dreads confronting. Told extensively in British slang and regional idiom, this meandering story of finding warmth, community, vitality, and hope is a welcome addition to lesbian fiction. Whitney Scott
