‘Can’t you understand that you’re mine, you’re mine!’ He can hear a note of threat in her voice. ‘I don’t expect you to act like you did tonight!’

 Shona is beautiful, but you couldn’t take her back to meet your parents, not whilst she is hearing voices and trying to burn down her room. Francis Freak, well she’s the other side of the coin, buried in a cardigan, a hissing, bony excuse for womanhood. They have little in common – except a secret voice.

 The Freak and the Idol is a startling, refreshingly different debut novel about friendships, secrets and what happens when that nagging voice at the back of your mind relocates.
