'Vividly portrays the human face of young women on the margins of
society, women who defy being statistics, who have their own
stories and loves to tell' Sophie Ward WINNER OF THE PORTICO PRIZE
LONGLISTED FOR THE OCKHAM AWARDS It is 1973 and Jude - known to her
friends as Toto - has just graduated from art school and moves into
a house in a run-down part of Leeds. Jude is a chaotic wild child
who flirts with the wrong kind of people, drinks too much and gets
stoned too often. Never happy to stay in one place for very long,
her restlessness takes her on hitchhiking jaunts up and down the
country. Her best friend, Nel, is the only steady influence Jude
has but Nel's life isn't as perfect as it seems. Reports of attacks
on women punctuate the news and Jude takes off again, suffocated by
an affair she has been having with a married woman. But what she
doesn't realise is that the violence is moving ever closer to home:
there is Janice across the road who lives in fear of being beaten
up again by her pimp and Nel, whose perfect life is coming undone
at her boyfriend's hands. At the same time infamous murderers, Fred
and Rosemary West, are stalking the country, on the lookout for
girls like Jude.
