  Beautifully crafted, brave and original, Pigtopia is narrated by the two very different voices of Jack and Holly - a pair whose unlikely bond, formed around the pigs Jack rears in secret, is threatened by the intolerance of those around them. A classic double act, who instantly take their place alongside the greats of outsider fiction, their's is a story of unhappiness and foreboding, but also one of hope and the redemptive power of friendship.

  Pigtopia is a tale about the unlikely friendship that develops between a lonely and angry adolescent girl, Holly, and Jack, an older man who is isolated from society due to his terrible physical deformities. What follows is the heartbreaking portrayal of their relationship, built around Jack's obsession with the pigs he rears in secret and which Holly comes to share, and the eventual destruction of this secret world. Narrated alternately by the contrasting voices of Jack and Holly, Pigtopia is a story of violence and foreboding, but also one of compassion and the redemptive power of friendship.
