Description
Vinny's life is defined by the narrow horizons of Skintown. He spends his days working in a takeaway and dreaming of escape. A chance act of kindness sets him on a path that will take him through fighting, romance, and rioting, all fueled by drink and drugs. This debut novel is a wild ride, full of black humour and restless energy. As Vinny navigates the streets of Skintown, he's forced to confront the hatred and violence that surrounds him. But in the midst of chaos, there's also a sense of hope - and a chance for redemption. With its confident and intelligent writing style, this book is a compelling read from start to finish. With its unique blend of humour and pathos, Skintown is a superb debut novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
