"Craig Marriner's second novel lifts the lid on the Big OE as his sprawling cast of young Southerners tackle London head on. There's Lisa from Cape Town, class warrior and part time drug dealer; Ryan the Aussie, with little to show for two years of overstaying but hangovers and hang-ups; and Alex from Auckland, fresh off the plane, a management graduate with the world at his feet, if he can grow up fast enough.
