A is for Angelica Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

'My life is different now. I don't go to work. I don't have an office. I stay at home, hide behind curtains and make notes.

I wait for something to happen.'Gordon Kingdom struggles with the fate of his seriously-ill wife while patiently observing and methodically recording the lives of those around him: his neighbours. He has files on them all, including Don Donald (best friend and petty thief), Annie Carnaffan (lives next door, throws footballs over the fence), and Benny (the boy who paints with his eyes closed). Then there's Angelica, the new girl (42) on the street, with her multi-coloured toenails and her filthy temper.

It's when she arrives that Gordon's world of half-truths really begins to unravel.

Faced with a series of unexpected events and a faltering conscience, he's left with an impossible decision. Because in the banality of everyday life, what would you do if the unthinkable happened?
