Throwing the House Out of the Window

Throwing the House Out of the Window

by Ben Richards (Author)

Synopsis

Jamie is a young housing officer on a rough East London estate. His work is sometimes frustrating, but the tenants he tries to help - by turns exasperating, funny, heroically brave or dangerously hostile - can make it all worth while. Friendship and romance blossom too, in Ben Richards' exuberant, gripping first novel.
