  Best friends and flatmates Foxy-T and Ruji-Babes run the E-Z Call Telephone and Internet shop in the heart of Bangladeshi East London. It's a twelve-hour day running the E-Z Call and Foxy-T and Ruji-Babes don't get out much, but they have each other and eat their take-outs by candlelight ...And all seems cool until Zafar Iqbal turns up on their doorstep looking for his grandad. Fresh from Feltham Young Offenders Centre and with a taste for the weed, Zafar's presence rapidly upsets the balance at the E-Z Call ...'One of the best London novels you'll ever get to read.'

  Foxy-T and Ruji-Babes live and work in an internet call shop in Shadwell, East London. They are content with their simple, shared life -- tarka dahl and a sweet lassie in the evenings, tv and each others company. When, one day, a young asian man, Zafar, turns up at the flat unannounced on his release from Feltham Young Offenders Centre, their lives start to change and his growing obsession with Foxy-T yields terrible consequences. An outstanding urban love story, Foxy-T and Ruji-Babes is told in the patchwork patois of East End teenagers. Colourful, brave and fantastically enjoyable, Foxy-T is sure to win many admirers for the unique storytelling voice and the writer's extraordinary ability to draw such wonderfully real characters.
