Stumbledirt by P.M. Leckie

5.0

Beautifully written, Stumbledirt is a novel which draws you into another world from the outset. The characters are rich and fulsome, well-drawn and strangely familiar. The story twists and turns and holds the reader's attention throughout. There are some difficult topics addressed in the novel with sensitivity and skill. The humour is plentiful and at times laugh-out-loud hilarious. The story is one which I think will stay with me for some time and I really will miss the comings and goings at Stumbledirt. Excellent debut.

At last! A realistic portrayal of prostitution and drug addiction. The characters are well drawn and the story engaging. Can't wait for the next book in this series. Great read.

Frighteningly believable glimpse of the Britain of the future. Everyone should read this book. It's a belter.

This is a book you can't put down. It shows us the relationships between 3 generations of women. Each character's voice is strong and authentic. The novel highlights the effects of early onset Alzheimer's disease in a way that is stark, sensitive and heartbreaking. A lovely read and one that makes you think about what legacy you will leave behind.
