Synopsis
Year of the Monkey & Designs for Living & Sodom & The Allotment
Published by Methuen
Bonfire Night, in which a daughter takes her sweet revenge; Arsehammers, where a grandson is sure that his grandfather's strange disappearances reveal supernatural powers, The Allotment, in which a quiet community of pensioners create a radical, anarchic commune by mistake, and The Year of the Monkey, where a mother yearns for some bad behaviour to puncture the boredom of her middle-class life
Designs for Living is a modern love story, challenging conventions of identity and sexuality
Sodom reveals Old Testament morality alive and well in middle England
