As Luck Would Have It

Step into the world of the 1950s Chelsea bedsit, where Richard – young, gay and struggling to find himself – meets the irrepressible Chuck.

INTRODUCED BY ALAN HOLLINGHURST

When Richard agrees to share a flat with Chuck, his life takes a strange new lurch. Chuck is enormous, ebullient, and more than a trifle camp. He is also violently jealous of Richard and his growing relationship with George. Gentle, unworldly Richard is at risk of being overpowered - but he is an orphan with a tenacious desire to learn how to love.

Deeply original, eccentric and funny, this is a story about finding family in a gay community and discovering who you really are.

‘A hilarious book’ Rachel Cusk, The Times

'An extraordinary novel by a genuinely original talent' Beryl Bainbridge

'Expertly crafted, emotionally affecting and heroically unfashionable' Guardian
