Heralded as 'the excellent and far-sighted Tindal Street Press' (Independent), this prize-winning independent publisher offers readers the best of contemporary regional fiction.

Picked as one of Esquire’s five books for the summer, Anthony Cartwright has been highly praised since his novel Heartland came out in May. ‘Toweringly good’ and ‘paced like a thriller’ said the review panel on Simon Mayo’s BBC Radio 5 Book Panel – and expect more superb reviews for this very topical novel that uses two football games to look at BNP politics and national identity.

'Cartwright's patient, attentive storytelling shines a glowing light on areas of our common experience that the English novel usually consigns to darkness. A writer with a wonderful ear for dialect and an unblinking sense of Britain as it is today' Jonathan Coe

'The ambition and acievement shine forth from every sentence. This is what fiction should be' David Peace
