Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

London's cult soap opera... Tales of the City set in Portobello... a Famous Five for adults... screamingly camp and slightly surreal... W11's The Archers... * ES - The Magazine of London's Evening Standard * Caselton is the Armistead Maupin of Portobello. These are his tales of the city, all about the eccentric, strange and surprising people who live, love and work in the shadow of the Trellick Tower. In Meanwhile Gardens you can squeeze through a gap in the railings of our harsh existence, and escape into magical places of kindness and care in the Portuguese cafe, overgrown cemetery, and silent canals of West London. Caselton always succeeds in making this dreary world we have to inhabit magical -- Guy Kennaway - author of One People and Sunbathing Naked

Reseña del editor:

A young girl escapes her abusive family in Bridlington and heads for West London. Before becoming a fully fledged member of the local community she finds herself embroiled with bloodthirsty Morris Dancer fundamentalists, agent provocateurs, society heiresses, scheming fashion editors, wily industrialists, vengeful geese and a gaggle of gay men competing to be voted 'Tragedy Queen of the Year'... Meanwhile Gardens is an urban adventure; an entertaining `up' read about friendship, love, community and the downright weird things that can happen in a city.
