Although Alfie is a bully, his two teenage children, John and Millie, have learned to dodge him and his moods. The main concern of ugly duckling Millie is to protect their mum, Eileen. When a serious crisis occurs at the Pratchetts' home, Alfie is forced to watch his whole world gradually collapse around him. Their old life has gone forever, and a new one has begun-one in which rape, debt, alcoholism, and insanity play their parts. And redemption is a long time coming. Fine/Fine. ISBN: 9780752857404
