Cash Carraway is a real writer, who shares her extraordinary story with a developing sense of politics.
* Morning Star *Ĭash Carraway's unique voice, filled in equal measure with rage and inspiration, tells a story of hope amongst state violence. Skint Estate is a full-throttle dispatch from the front line of the war against the poor. Visceral, high-octane prose, a cocktail of Irvine Welsh and Charles Bukowski with a splash of feminist polemic. I loved it' THE IRISH TIMESĮxplosive, funny and insightful. 'A fascinating, shocking look at poverty and motherhood' BILLIE PIPER Raw, gut-wrenching and immensely moving' RUTH JONES 'The new voice of a generation' THE TIMES Bursts with energy, wit and anger' KEN LOACH 'Cash's brutal honesty will leave you wanting to make a change, stand up and be heard. The darkly funny debut memoir from the creator of HBO and BBC's Rain Dogs, Skint Estate is a scream against austerity that rises full of rage in a landscape of sink estates, police cells, refuges and peepshows. After all, what else do you call a working-class single mum in temporary accommodation? I'm a scrounger, a liar, a hypocrite, a stain on society with no basic morals - or so they say.
'Give powerful voice to the often silent story that explains so much of Britain's current fracturing' OBSERVER 'Brilliant, horrifying and really f***ing funny' KATHY BURKE
