Pig / Cowan Andrew / Книга на Английском; Sceptre, 2002

Cowan's beautifully drawn, multi award-winning first novel of love in the hostile climate of modern British society

When his grandmother dies, and his grandfather is removed to a home, fifteen-year-old Danny determines to look after their elderly pig and ramshackle garden. Here, on the ragged edge of a blighted new town, Danny and his Indian girlfriend Surinder create a fragile haven from the enclosing world of racist neighbours and stifling families, a summer's refuge from the precariousness of their future.
