Hard Luck

'Hard Luck by James Maw is the extremely funny and touching, sentimental history of two boys growing up on a new town council estate called Prospect in post-war Britain;

class, poverty, domestic violence, well-meaning idiocy and welfare bureaucracy are accurately flayed through the experiences of the endearing and astonishingly well sustained voice of one of their child victims ...

Dickensian satire and genuine affection ...
pure pleasure ...
take it on holiday and be grateful for mercies given'
