Uprooted from London because his mother and stepfather can't afford to go on living there, Xan is slowly adjusting to life in Devon. Amanda Craig's novel, read by Amanda Lawrence.
Amanda Craig's state-of-the nation novel highlighting the growing disconnect between life in London and the rest of the country.
Quentin and Lottie Bredin can't afford to divorce. Having lost their jobs in the recession, they can't afford to go on living in London either; instead, Lottie decides to rent out their London home for an extortionate sum and move their family to a remote house in Devon for a year.
