George has made his way home to Big City, hoping to find a life more fulfilling than the one he left behind. But the city of his birth is very different to the island 'paradise' he once called home, and manhood, as he will discover, is about more than doing a day's work or going to the local pub. From boutique to bargain basement, stylish apartment to squalid houseshare, and happy ever after to the reality of falling in love, nothing is what George expected. As he takes his first tentative steps in the Big City of his dreams, he meets a colourful cast of characters - from Ella, born in Shenzen but a local Geordie from her Vivienne Westwood heels to her perfectly coiffed crown. Then there is Lawrence, the older Man who will challenge him to confront his own sexuality and attitude. The lives of all three will be irrevocably altered as day-to-day existence in this constantly changing city forces them to make some tough choices. The grass is not always greener on the other side, and life, even in this City, is never black and white. 'An earthy, passionate, and fast-paced coming of age story that sparkles with wit and humour and vividly captures life in modern-day Newcastle' - E. Newrick, Author Someplace North of Here by CH Lowe is a beautifully written book that focuses largely around a homosexual romance, but will appeal to a wide audience because of how the protagonist sees the world. This is a very enjoyable read, and it should not be missed. - A.C.Haury, Bibliophile Book Reviews
