Author Description

An intimate, stylish and politically charged novel of our times. Set against a backdrop of the contemporary anti-war and anti-globalization movements, 'Demo' explores the primitive antagonisms of class, gender, race, sexual rivalry and religion. An exciting debut novel written with irresistible pace, nerve and grace. 'Fresh, exhilarating, full of verve and voice - with as spirited and empathetic a young heroine as I've met in fiction.'
