Book description
Frank Inigo Savage simply wants to be alone and the top flat of
Kensington Heights seems just the place. Until the other bizarre and
eccentric inhabitants of the building start arriving on his doorstep.
And the Savage gets a visit from a homeless waif he meets in the
local launderette called Korky.
Korky's intrusion on Savage's private world alters his whole
existence. High above the London rooftops this strange and
contradictory relationship blooms like an improbable flower and Savage
begins to realise that the world can creep under even the most firmly
closed doors.

laughter and back again' Daily Express
' A moving and jolly book ... with hardly a dull moment and
difficult not to be cheered by' Times
