About this listen
Coventry Dakin's tale begins with her accidental killing of her neighbour. Forced to flee the law, she deserts her council estate, her boring husband and two demanding children for the anonymity of London's cardboard city.
Originally published in 1988, Rebuilding Coventry is a brilliantly observed satire of Eighties Britain and the hypocrisy of the middle and upper classes.

Critic reviews
"Proof, once more, that Townsend is one of the funniest writers around." ( The Times)
"Townsend's wit is razor-sharp" ( The Daily Mirror)
good read overall.

Painfully, irritating narration

This is the second book in a row now that I've not been able to stomach and finish (and I am a hardcore "I paid for this so I WILL finish it" kind of listener!) so I will definitely not be taking any chances on another Townsend novel. It's money wasted for me so I can only hope that she is spending it wisely and using it to pay for therapy.
I won't buy another Sue Townsend
