Peerless Flats by Esther Freud
5.0
My first five stars!
This is an amazing book. Short, clear, almost naked sentences so touching and meaningfull. It's one of those books where less is more.
The very first sentences draw us into the environment surrounding Lisa and into her personality. The reader is positioned just next to her while she tries to find her way in London (and life) between her estranged family, not-so-friendly friends and college. A very touching novel on how painful it can be to enter adult life.
