CUTTING IN - if you like theatre you'll love this novel
Elaine will do anything to get what she wants.... and eighteen, it's a dangerous age, when you have to cut your way into life.
But watching, imitating, borrowing - to stalk in pursuit of an image. There's no threat in that, is there?
'Felicity has a great gift for portraying the agonies and ecstasies of adolescence .... a rare talent...' says novelist Frederick E. Smith
'..hard edged, striking and truthful...' the late Julian Rathbone
'Absolutely stunning! I had to put the rest of my life on hold...' Artist Ros Sheard
'I read it at a single sitting... perceptive writing... wonderfully spiked with bitchiness,' says thriller writer Graham Hurley
