9780719560255: Losing It

Synopsis

Losing It is a brilliantly funny and wonderfully accomplished short novel in rhyming couplets. Lucy, its heroine, is a bright and beautiful girl who has come to London to lose her virginity - which (this being fiction) she never manages to do. The plot involves time-travel, witchcraft, the undead, and trans-species-ism, and the verse is fast moving, and full of outrageous rhymes, satirical asides and sophisticated humour. A miniature masterpiece.
