Costa-shortlisted Simon Wroe brings Nineteen Eighty-Four up to date in a tale of dubious journalism, post-truth politics and overbearing Russians.
From the author of "Chop Chop", nominated for the Costa First Novel award, comes a comic novel with a bite from Simon Wroe. With themes of liberty, equality and puberty, "Here Comes Trouble" follows 17 year old Ellis Dau, who is expelled from school and sent to work with his father.
