From there it's on to a dodgy council flat and a succession of unsuitable men, including the hard-drinking, drug-dealing, ice-cream-buying Tony Hogan. Kerry Hudson's arrestingly original debut will enthrall readers with Janie's tragicomic and moving story about coming of age in a non-traditional family amid the absurdities of the 1980s and Thatcherite Britain.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408463913111,"sku":"9780143124641","price":1893.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780143124641.webp?v=1767149217","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tony-hogan-bought-me-an-ice-cream-float-before-he-stole-my-ma-9780143124641","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
