Produktinformationen zu „Born Free (ePub)“
Shortlisted for the Whitbread Award: "this bleak tale" of a month in the life of a family struggling with addiction "is a work of considerable force" (The Scotsman, UK).
Punchy, sharp-witted and acutely observed, Born Free tells the story of an ordinary family living in Edinburgh, Scotland, and dealing with their troubles in an all-too ordinary way: each member is trying to escape life-and each other-through his or her drug of choice, whether it's alcohol, sex, Prozac, or the Internet.
The interactions between parents Angie and Vic, and their teenage children Jake and Joni, reveal a hellish cocktail of mid-life crises and adolescent angst; the savagery of sibling rivalry; the waking nightmare of a marriage gone cold-and the unbridgeable, infernal chasm between the generations. It's a story of everyday life.
Shortlisted for the Whitbread First Novel Award
Nominated for the Orange Prize
