White City Blue

Winner of the 1999 Whitbread First Novel Award “Beautiful and brilliant” Tony Parsons Estate agent Frankie Blue is known on his home turf – White City, Shepherd`s Bush – as `Frank the Fib`. He`s a liar – but one who always tries to tell the truth. Frankie has been friends with Diamond Tony, a hairdresser, Colin, a computer nerd, and Nodge, a cabbie, since schooldays. Now they are thirty and trying to live the same life as they did then – drinking, girls, banter, football. Then comes Frankie`s Great Betrayal – Veronica, and marriage, his ticket to a bigger, better grown-up world. From the moment he tells his mates, the whole patchwork of their friendships begins to collapse – revealing the sad, shocking but often hilarious truths that lie underneath.”Caustically funny and sometimes very affecting … with sardonic wit and a kind of tough tenderness, Lott portrays people growing up, growing apart or growing together” Sunday Times”Mordantly funny… Observations are vivid, the dialogue crisp and, crucially, the characters are sympathetic” Tatler
