This is a latest novel from highly acclaimed writer Alexei Sayle -
bleak, hilarious and completely unique. Northern girl Harriet lives
and works on a London estate which is a battleground between the
white working class plus the immigrants versus the newly arrived
middle class focaccia-eaters. Unhappy and overweight, she hires a
personal trainer who lures her into joining the martial arts class
he runs. There she learns the regime of the completely phoney
martial arts 'master' and embarks on a spiritual and literal
journey which leads her to a hotel opposite the railway station at
Crewe, the 'Weeping Women Hotel'. This is Alexei Sayle's best work
to date - good plot, great characters plus his trademark anarchic
black humour.
