The Independent: “Bower's brave "warts and all" portrayal makes for an original and engaging novel. He neither apologises for his characters, nor tries to offer solutions to their problems; this is an uncomfortably bleak, but ultimately necessary, read.”
Made in Britain, Bower’s second novel, tells the story of shuttered, recession-blighted, dispassionate contemporary Britain as seen through the eyes of three teenagers living in a failing post-industrial northern town - a place becoming so familiar to the UK landscape it might well be called Everytown.
Born in Lancashire in 1982, Bower made his fiction debut with Dazed and Aroused in 2009. He has also written for the Guardian and the Sunday Telegraph. Photo James Harrison
