Ellis Sharp

Full English Ellis Sharp

A man spends a night at a B & B. Waking in the middle of the night, he recalls the trials and tribulations of an English adolescence and early manhood. This exquisite, tenderly observed and delightful Bildungsroman belongs to a genre which includes Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, Sons and Lovers, The Catcher in the Rye, and Goodbye, Columbus - classic writing to which it very evidently owes nothing at all.

Wildly inventive, stunning, brilliantly observed, stellar, inspiring, magical and groundbreaking, raw and emotional, urgent and of great importance, unique and chilling, inspirational, beautiful, superb, page-turning, brilliantly funny, a classic in the making, exquisite - just a few of the descriptions of new novels borrowed from the world of corporate publishing which plainly do not apply to Full English. Enjoy.
