Review
'A mini-masterpiece - a delicious, wicked, beautifully observed little black comedy about council house residents that also manages to be a murder mystery and a memorable tale' Independent on Sunday 'An everyday tale of tinkers, teenage runaways, sexually incontinent councillors and lonely old women written in a sinewy, dialogue-driven style' The Times 'Agnes Owens has an appealingly wicked eye for familial love on the dole ... reminiscent of Muriel Spark and Shena Mackay' Sunday Herald 'Agnes Owens is part of a Golden Age in Scottish literature' Guardian

5.0 out of 5 stars
something close to nihilism,
This review is from: Bad Attitudes (Hardcover)
A tremendous book with two great stories. Bad attitudes is the first of the two and is written in a honed prose style. The characters are wonderfully realised and the story itself has a gut wrenching sense of people losing out in life. Likewise with Jen's party, grim but engaging and blackly funny. Read them!
