It took a while to get into this but the book improves with the
arrival of Dorothy, an evangelical Christian who is also an
engaging character. The narrator is an unpaid skivvy in his
parents' guesthouse, a job he enjoys. There is a seedy outer
London suburb feel to this book. It 'goes a bit mad' at the end
('quite barmy' according to Doreen). Cautiously recommended.

Both a weird and funny book. An eighteen year old cleans boarding
houses (and the rooms in them). He lusts after one of the
boarders and cleans her shoes in a highly suggestive manner.

Bob wanted to like it but gave up half way through. It was very old fashioned and the characters didn't seem very believable
