Notes from the Poverty Line
'Brilliant, horrifying and really f***ing funny' — Kathy Burke
'Give[s] powerful voice to the often silent story that explains so much of Britain's current fracturing' — Observer
I'm a scrounger, a liar, a hypocrite, a stain on society with no basic morals - or so they say. After all, what else do you call a working-class single mum in temporary accommodation?
The darkly funny debut memoir from the creator of HBO and BBC's Rain Dogs, Skint Estate is a scream against austerity that rises full of rage in a landscape of sink estates, police cells, refuges and peepshows.
A voice that must be heard.

'The new voice of a generation' — The Times
'Astonishingly brilliant ... Raw, gut-wrenching and immensely moving' — Ruth Jones
