Synopsis

Winner of a Betty Trask Award Introducing...Odeline Milk, an unusual young lady from a sleepy market town. She's on her way to London, to make her name. She hopes. And with the small inheritance left her by her mother, she's bought herself a home, an old canal boat. What she doesn't know yet is that for some the city's canals have an appeal of their own. They are below the eyeline, a sort of halfworld, a good place to hide for a community of curious outsiders, all with their own stories to tell, stories which might help a certain young lady to think differently about life.

Media Reviews
A quirky tale * Good Book Guide *
This is an eccentric look at London through the eyes of an eccentric -- Rachel Holdsworth * Londonist *
This is a deeply quirky and very charming first novel. -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
Like a stylish animated film, wry and easy and mischievous...the novel is perfectly formed, but not pat: some characters find redemption, others just carry on. -- Mark Greaves * Spectator *
It's an offbeat and magical look at London that's completely captivating. The descriptions of the city are so vivid, it's as if you're seeing them for the first time. * Now Magazine *
