A keenly anticipated debut novel, inspired by the life and work of the Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar. This slice of kitchen sink noir tells Dunbar's story in print for the very first time. Featuring a cast of real and imagined characters, it is the result of four years' painstaking research that has unearthed the hidden story of one of the North's most enigmatic figures. It is a tale of the North/South divide and reveals how a shy teenage girl defied the circumstances she was born into to become one of West Yorkshire's greatest dramatists.
