It's 1984 and one of the hottest summers Yorkshire's seen. It's the kind of woozy heat to lose your mind in. Mona is fifteen years old. She's a drinker, a thief and a fruit-machine addict. Things are already going badly in the pub where she lives with her obese step-brother PorkChop. But when Mona meets posh Tamsin Fakenham, a sassy girl with beautiful breasts, an actress mother, and a sister who's died of starvation, things very quickly get much worse.
Left alone in Tamsin's plush country home in this sweltering summer of miners' strikes and disco, the girls quickly descend into wild romance, igniting a story of obsession and dizzying violence that will change their world for ever.
Shocking, funny and disturbing, 'My Summer Of Love' is a novel of love and hope going strange and sour. It marks the debut of a remarkable new voice in British fiction.
