From Publishers Weekly
In this "captivating" first novel, a playwright moves to a seedy section of London, where she befriends unusual neighbors. "The action, however fast paced and convincing, is secondary to the richness and vitality of the characterization, the authenticity of setting and dialogue," praised PW.

Book Description
Many people would kill to be Domina Tey. She’s one of life’s successes: an award-winning playwright living in a beautiful house with an equally celebrated writer. A lucky woman. She knows it. And she appreciates it. But she isn’t happy. Life is too easy. It’s becoming stultifying, negating her creative force. She decides upon a spell of sleazy living to give both her work and her soul a spring-clean – and elopes with her typewriter in search of just a hint of degradation. She finds it in Bayswater. Safe in bedsit land, she immediately sets about getting to know her neighbour, a candidate for the priesthood half her age.
