A Novel
by Richard Milward
Paperback Original.
Ten Storey Love Song is a cutting but characteristically charismatic portrait of a deeply dysfunctional, creative, and drug-sodden world, delivered with great beauty and abandon.
"Starred Review. The narrative moves at a breakneck pace, cleverly moving between characters and finding the right moments to pause for the rare tender moment. It's a high-wire act on a par with the better Irvine Welsh books." - Publishers Weekly
"Milward's voice is original, relevant, and necessary." - Library Journal
"Milward is a major talent, and his love for his characters shines through any degrading obstacles he forces them to encounter..He's also a novelist of great emotional power and deft skill." - The Guardian (UK)
"Milward has that rare gift of being able to capture and distill an entire generation in a single, simple sentence. Brilliant. Very very funny and utterly original." - Helen Walsh, author of Once Upon a Time in England
