"Broken. A novel" by Daniel Clay.

This beautiful, incredibly lyrical book is a debut novel.
"Broken" is the story of three families on a housing estate in the South of England. The story is narrated by Skunk, an 11 year old girl, from her hospital bed and tells of the events between the quietly-spoken, middle-class Buckleys and the Oswalds with their drug dealing, aggressive, single father and his bullying daughters. Skunk Cunningham's family are involved by accident but are integral to the story.
A wonderfully moving story exploring family love and offering hope.
