Articoli correlati a Hallam Foe
Hallam, a confused and sweetly old-fashioned teenager, has chosen an unusual way of following life on his father's Leicestershire estate - voyeurism. He spies on everyone: on the gardener's sex life, on his father's ridiculous plans for a underground village, on his wicked stepmother, whom he holds responsible for his mother's suicide - using telescopes, treehouses, lipstick and a dead badger. After an unfortunate chainsaw accident he moves to Edinburgh, where his voyeurism becomes more dangerous. Eventually, however, via skylights, pornographic photographs, sinister lakes and curtain-rails, Hallam is redeemed by love.

'Superb...An unusually exciting [and] amusing tale...Hallam Foe not only succeeds as an entertaining story but makes all kinds of pertinent points along the way...Jinks...shows wicked powers of observation' Scotland on Sunday
So terse and tense, so utterly packed with atmosphere, and potential to scare or excite, that you simply marvel at what Jinks can do (The Scotsman)
