"My father would have flipped a coin and watched his fate come twirling down to earth." A tale of damaged childhood, family feuding and compulsive gambling, set in the Maltese community of Cardiff's Tiger Bay of the 1960's. "An extraordinarily instinctive writer with a delicate feel for language, Azzopardi has written a scalding, thrilling book about the havoc and despair it is possible to wreak inside a family." The Observer
