The Killing Jar


This coming-of-age story by Nicola Monaghan is set on the council estates of Nottingham, England, where the author grew up. Drug use and child abandonment seem to have had an impact on the main characters. After much senseless violence and general dissipation, a happy ending of sorts ensues.--Barb P.
