Desmond Elliott 2008 · Shortlist

It’s 1930, & the streets of London are teeming with homeless men & women. The bars & cafes are full of seedy chancers & girls. Through this moral wasteland strides Harold. For ladies poised on the edge of perdition, he is an unlikely Messiah. When he meets Barbara, who confounds his ethical certainties, his life is pitched into disarray.
