Heroine Ashley's loves, losses, triumphs, adventures and misadventures remind us that homelessness can indeed 'befall' anyone. A dark-humoured romp through the hazardous sixties, austere seventies, bleak eighties, and leaner meaner nineties. A down-at-heel memoir imbued with the desolate ghost-beauty of the city, both ruin - and renaissance-in-waiting. An excerpt from the novel Baglady was short-listed for the 1998 Eastside Stories Competition, United Kingdom Edit
