A Town Like This Needs a Holiday by Omar Majeed
£5.00
Novella set in the mythical town of Charrington following the goings on of young artist Anna and her friends; the trials and tribulations of neurotic Richard and his long-suffering wife Cartherine; and a host of townsfolk whose lives pass each other daily. The book takes inspiration from Jon McGregor's If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things, and was described by Chris Cleave as having "a beautiful and benevolent narrative voice reminiscent of Cannery Row era Steinbeck"
