Quatrième de couverture

In an attempt to escape the bizarre family and stagnation Up North, tv soap-addict Alastair Strange moves to Fulham where he lands a job editing for a vanity publisher. It is an odd kind of job but he is used to oddness: his parents are strange, his elder brother is strange, his name is strange...

The behavior of his lovely but troubled flat-mate Martha, however, is odder than anything that Alastair has encountered before. Can he rescue Martha? Can he find out what his family is hiding? And is life better than tv?
