three books to bring to your attention. My to scan pile is huge, so I will
not be doing any of these.
Firstly, Stuart MacBride's latest, Blind Eye is just out. Secondly, Giles
Blunt's book "no such creature" is now available.
And finally, this one has just got rave reviews on the simon Mayo programme.
Heartland by anthony Cartwright.
It is the May 2002 local elections in the Black Country, the ''Tipton
Three'' have been arrested and sent to Guantanamo and the BNP confidently
expect new seats on the council. England are about to play Argentina in the
World Cup while a local league clash is billed by the press as ''a match to
spark a race war''. A passionate, page-turning story about grass-roots
politics, football and the far right in a multicultural, working class town
- HEARTLAND is one of the finest English novels of the decade.
''Ambition and achievement shine forth from every sentence. This is what
fiction should be'' - David Peace, author of THE DAMNED UTD
''A resonant tale of love, politics and football'' - Jonathan Coe
''Beautiful, moving and important'' - Catherine O Flynn
