A HAPPY PLACE BOOK CLUB PICK

I have lived on London’s piss-soaked streets, I have lived with the sweet embrace of heroin, I have lived when I should have died. I have lied, I have thieved, I have stripped, I have tricked, I have loved, I have fallen, I have survived.

I could be your daughter, your mother, your lover – I could be you.

Come to hell and back with me.
