Taste the Bright Lights

What does life on the streets and its consequences mean for two girls with very different lives – and what happens when Lisa is left on her own? A hard-hitting novel in the compelling, original and witty voice of 14 year old Lisa, following her life for two months after she runs away from an abusive home. ***'Extremely well-written.' *** 'Breath-taking...I was totally amazed by it. By god it deserves a hearing.' *** 'This book completely knocked me sideways. Laura Canning's portrayal of the forgotten and misunderstood youth of today is vivid and shocking. It's a page-turner and an eye-opener. It is fresh and original and speaks for the disenchanted voice of a generation much like Catcher in the Rye would have done to the youth of the 50s.' *** '...destined for great things, one of those "important" novels that critics sometimes harp on about.’ *** http://www.amazon.co.uk/Taste-Bright-Lights-Laura-Canning/dp/0955685532/
