The Triple Point of Water

Gritty, dark & full of life - Pulp Net review -In this confidently written first novel, London in the 1980s is conjured up with clarity through the viewpoint of Arabella, who leaves school and rural Nottingham as soon as she can for the city. Arabella tries her hand at various low-paid jobs, but what she does best is dancing. Her audition and subsequent career as a strippagram singer make sense in the context of a proper job as a dental nurse that barely pays the rent. Over the course of the book, she struggles to come to terms with her distant relationship with her adoptive father, a steam locomotive enthusiast and a big fan of Margaret Thatcher.
