About the Book

Pegs and Holes in Cottonopolis' is an adult-humour fictionalised biography, documenting the coming of age of Patrick in 1980s Manchester as the area was economically disintegrating. Patrick struggles with dialects, bullies, a socially ambitious mother, a co-dependent classmate, and friends seeking glory on the football terraces. Eventually, he is forced to confront the difficult choices he must make to secure his future.

His plight mirrors that of many of his generation, growing up in the declining industrial areas during the Thatcherite years. 'Pegs and Holes' presents themes of social mobility, belonging, class conflict, adolescent angst, and the rebirth of economic liberalism. It captures not only the essence of the 1980s, but the moment when British society fractured leading to the culture wars.

'Riffs on the classic coming-of-age novel...the humour provides some grim, often grimy and occasionally hilarious tales of the impetus for Patrick who can neither safely pogo within the status quo, nor dodge the now-crumbling social order or his parent's expectations.'
Clare Allan (Writers Victoria).

'Very atmospheric and authentic...description of post-industrial Manchester resonated with me...."Hooligan" genre now very much overdone and to rise above the dross a book has to be well-written, humorous, authentic and able to connect to a cultural and social historical context...your book meets those criteria admirably.'
Martin Knight, Author of Common People.

'I enjoyed reading Pegs and Holes immensely, and would gladly have kept going beyond the final page...Paddy's story is very funny in places, and affecting...I felt that you invoked the period wonderfully well.'
Martin Ouvry, Author of Frugality.
