“The novel was so familiar, there were people I knew, people I miss and people I am glad to have forgotten.” Mark Barry, author of Carla and A Shiny Coin for Carol Prentice.
Suburb is the debut novel from Steven Kedie.
Tom Fray is desperate to put on a rucksack and live a life of adventure and freedom. To do so, he returns home – to a semi-detached house stuck in the middle of cul-de-sac - to earn some money.
Tom finds all the people he left behind living lives he doesn’t want for himself. His parents are trapped on life's treadmill and his fifteen-year-old brother is causing them problems. Tom’s ex-girlfriend is seeing someone else, but would rather be with him.
And then there's Kate, a married neighbour, who Tom shares a connection with. When the two start an affair, Tom's simple plan to escape becomes a lot more complicated.
Suburb is available in e-book and paperback from Amazon.
