A rare and timely look at life as a young adult from an immigrant background living in London, based on the author's own experiences of years in flatshares, low paid jobs and encounters with xenophobia. A razor sharp, darkly funny and intimate coming-of-age novel for fans of Naoise Dolan, Dolly Alderton and Louise Nealon.
Ania Bas grew up in Poland and moved to the UK 15 years ago to pursue a career in the arts. She has worked with Tate, Whitechapel Gallery and others as an artist and arts organiser. She began writing Odd Hours on the Faber Academy 'Writing a Novel' course.
