Uninvited

Uninvited

by RichardHouse (Author)

Synopsis

Nine months after following a friend to London Ian Proctor isn't happy: the squat is about to be evicted, he hates his part-job and feels like quitting at any moment, and his friend of over twenty-two years is embroiled in a scam that clearly hasn't worked. Nothing is secure, and his life seems to be slipping away living amongst a group of slackers in South London. More disturbing is the violence that surrounds them; a man thrown from the back of a bus, and two thugs a little too handy with their fists and paint stripper. Following a bicycle messenger through central London, Ian embarks on an adventure which promises much but which is ultimately threatened by his former associations.

Media Reviews
?House?s gifts shine through... When all the elements of the novel finally start working together, Uninvited is as powerful as Richard House?s bleak, beautiful debut, Bruiser? Times Literary Supplement ?House is a master of flawed character and unexpectedly moving images? New Statesman
