Thames Gateway Series by Nicola Barker
Thames Gateway #1
Thames Gateway 01; Wide Open
Nicola Barker
This is truly extraordinary work of fiction, taking readers into a small English seaside town, and into the minds and hearts of its remarkable inhabitants – a man named Ronny, weed killer by trade, who has some strange things in common with a man he finds dangling from a bridge; Nathan, the son of a pedophile, who toils in the Underground’s Lost Property department, endlessly logging missing items; Sara, purveyor of her family boar farm, and Lily, her teenage daughter, tragically born with unformed organs and blood that refuses to clot.· · · Starkly original and at turns hilarious, sad, and hopeful, ‘Wide Open’ brilliantly displays Nicola Barker’s delightfully singular literary talent.
