Alan Kilburn

Down the Bad Alan Kilburn

This highly original novel traces the fortunes of the Bailey family and their acquaintance in Royal Leamington Spa between October and Christmas Eve in 2013. Part satire, part romance, it uncovers dark and beautiful under-currents in the lives of everyday people as they deal with both a common crisis and their own personal struggles. Violent urges and sexual impulse prey on the innocent and the weak. Can anyone restore decency and sense, and undo the predators' work?
