Synopsis from Amazon

Gripping, terrifying, an unputdownable read. Discover Graham Greene’s most iconic novel.

A gang war is raging through the dark underworld of Brighton. Seventeen-year-old Pinkie, malign and ruthless, has killed a man. Believing he can escape retribution, he is unprepared for the courageous, life-embracing Ida Arnold. Greene’s gripping thriller exposes a world of loneliness and fear, of life lived on the ‘dangerous edge of things.’

In this gripping, terrifying, and unputdownable read, discover Greene’s iconic tale of the razor-wielding Pinkie.

This has been on my Spin List for some while now, so it’s about time I read it.

“Why does this bleak, seething and anarchic novel still resonate? Its energy and power is that of the rebellious adolescent, foreshadowing the rise of the cult of youth in the latter part of the 20th century.”—The Guardian

  1. This sounds like a tense, atmospheric read, Margaret. Greene has a way of drawing the reader in, and although I’ve not read this one, it sounds as though that happens here. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy this one.
