Description

One morning Apricot Jones wakes up to graffiti on her front door and a man in a black Jaguar who calls himself the Baglan Giant looking for her mum. Apricot wishes she were anywhere else, maybe heading over the horizon for a new life!


But her best friend Charlie knows she will always be here, cleaning up the mess the others leave behind. 

Set between the Sandfields estate and the sea's edge, and structured by the omnipresent steelworks, this is a darkly comic tale of what it means to be alive, seventeen and living in Port Talbot.

A postcard to the love-hate relationship between best friends, and the love-hate relationship with your hometown. The tidal pull and push of family ties and dreams of escape.

A darkly comic first YA novel from the author of The Shark Caller and The Song Walker (shortlisted for the Carnegie 2024)
