Pretty Things
Fresh out of university, the pretty things of London in the early noughties seem to have it all: they are beautiful, they have exciting jobs, eclectic homes and a life full of parties and romance, tainted only by trivial, self induced dramas. Then an incident of extreme violence and corruption jolts the complacent world of bored privilege that they all inhabit. Forced to confront reality, the world of the pretty things unravels. But always they keep searching and hoping for the one thing that is at the heart of everything: Love, and not just love, but its declaration. Written with tenderness, bitterness and humour, Pretty Things is a brutal and crystal clear depiction of a society of secretly drowning men and women, in a vastly changing world.
