Three Burials
Three Burials | Anders Lustgarten
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
An electrifying wild ride of a debut novel from award-winning playwright Anders Lustgarten Meet Cherry, a bandit queen on the run, driving a pink soft-top convertible through the badlands of South-East England. She's never felt more Thelma & Louise in her life - except there are three of them in the car and one of them is dead. How did a head nurse and mother of two end up driving a handcuffed policeman and the corpse of a murdered refugee on a journey to find justice? Pursued by a racist, roid-raged, shaven-headed officer of the law - not to mention by her husband and daughter - what else can a woman with a conscience do in modern Britain? Thrilling, radical and darkly comedic, Anders Lustgarten's open-hearted storm of a book explores pressing political concerns with clear-sightedness and holds a mirror up to contemporary Britain.

Three Burials | Anders Lustgarten

Pickpick

This is an explosion of a novel involving illegal immigrants, a racist cop, a dead body, and a family upended by grief and a longing for justice. Lustgarten unleashes a harsh commentary on the darker side of modern day Britain with sharp, brutal observations of current policy and stabs of bleak, surprising humor. If Thelma and Louise hit the road in London, it might have looked something like this.
