Introducing... Odeline Milk, a strange young lady from a sleepy, buttoned-down market town.
A young lady with an obsession – you can guess what it is by the way she dresses: white collarless shirt, a waistcoat and billowing black trousers, the bowler hat.
She’s on her way to London, to make her name as a great mime artist.
She hopes.
And typical Odeline, she’s arriving prepared. With the small inheritance left her by her mother, she’s bought herself a home, an old canal boat.
What she doesn’t know yet is that for some the city’s canals have an appeal of their own. They are below the eyeline, a sort of halfworld, a good place to hide for a community of curious outsiders, all with their own stories to tell, stories which might help a certain young lady to think differently about life.
Because there’s a lot Odeline doesn’t know. Not least, that her new home has a history of its own.

Review:
"This is a deeply quirky and very charming first novel." -- Kate Saunders The Times "It's an offbeat and magical look at London that's completely captivating. The descriptions of the city are so vivid, it's as if you're seeing them for the first time." Now Magazine "Like a stylish animated film, wry and easy and mischievous.the novel is perfectly formed, but not pat: some characters find redemption, others just carry on." -- Mark Greaves Spectator "Perfect for summer reading." Perks of Being a Bookworm "I would love to see a sequel." -- Fleur Fisher
Book Description:
A big debut novel – a perfect blend of the quirky and commercial, in the vein of When God Was a Rabbit.
