The Works

einmal vorsichtig gelesen, feinste Leserillen im Rücken

insgesamt sehr gut in Schuss

Lucas Cage can now lay claim to the only part of his father's enormous legacy that he ever craved - The Works - the disused old printing house hard by the Thames. Lucas invites special people to share it with him: 'the family', as he comes to call them. Jamie Dear is one of those who grasps the opportunity to escape his wife and a small and nasty flat to be close to Lucas. Jamie emerges as a catalyst linking the lives of all the other disparate souls, amid the frailty, lust and dependency, while the calm and omniscient spirit of Lucas hovers above them all.
