New Testament (extract from A is for Angelica)

Iain Broome

This is an extract from the chapter New Testament, which comes roughly a third into my debut novel, A is for Angelica. 'A first novel that confidently moves from dark comedy that’s genuinely funny to even darker despair that grows from moving to harrowing… really impressive’ The Daily Mail ‘An oddly addictive and often hilarious read… Presented in uncomplicated, unembellished prose, this is a brilliant and adeptly written debut novel, loaded with poignancy and feeling.’ Time Out "...a brilliant dark comedy, with beautiful moments of pathos."
