A racy tale of teen rebellion, love and glamour from the author of Fierce People

Fifteen-year-old Finn Earl's mother, Liz, is a thirty-two-year-old masseuse with a taste for cocaine. When Liz's habit forces them to flee the city, they find protection under the wing of one of her clients, ageing billionaire Mr Osborne.

From the author of Fierce People comes a blistering, haunting, aching novel about what you do when the unthinkable happens - and when the memory of it refuses to be left behind

Focuses on the proofs, ie animus possidendi and acts of possession by the squatter and the implications of squatting on leasehold land, registered land, co-owned land, land subject to a trust, a future interest or a mortgage. This book examines the use of the doctrine in the context of unadministered estates or informal transactions.
