This book was like so many stories during the 80s,unemployment,poverty and poor housing.A sad story of a young lad and alcoholic mum.She knew how to raid the tv box and fiddle the electricity and gas.There was always a phone line in the house’s throughout the book and that never seemed to be disconnected that was a luxury in many homes then even though there was no food?.The story just moved around different houses with repetitive theme in each.

Thought this book looked a good read,sorry it was awful and a terrible ending.The whole story was lacklustre at best.
