Publisher: Jonathan Cape Ltd, 1998

The choir from Our Lady of Perpetual Succour School for Girls is being bussed to the National Finals in the big city. It's an important day for the Sopranos - pub-crawling, shoplifting and body-piercing being their top priorities.

Review:

"In a spill of vivid and corruscating language... Alan Warner has emerged as a writer of great inventiveness" (Annie Proulx)

"Wonderful... humane, unique, a page-turner with a neat series of bombshells at the end" (Daily Telegraph)

"Warner provides every nuance of the characters in a sustained tour de force... This is the most profound of Warner's books. His sense of place and atmosphere remains extraordinarily intense" (Guardian)

"Wonderful... Humane, unique, a page-turner with a neat series of bombshells at the end" (Daily Telegraph)

"Wickedly funny... Warner can combine literary style with go-anywhere demotic humour... Like St Trinians with condoms and male nudity" (Independent)
