The first time Craig enters The Kennedys is to meet his girlfriend Kate for what he thinks will be a serious discussion about their relationship. Suddenly finding himself stripped of everything recognisable and comfortable in his life, he feigns sickness from work and starts frequenting the north London café daily seeking new experiences. He befriends Paul, the café's wise, soft-spoken owner, gets to know Donna, a hemiplegic woman who frequents the café with her carer, and Marie-Louise, the new headstrong French barista. Over the following three weeks he establishes himself as a regular and has his opinions and preconceptions challenged at every turn by many of the café's atypical guests, forcing him to examine his job, ambitions, and life in London.
Autorenporträt
Shaun Girling was born and raised in south-east England. During his teenage years only his obsessions with R.E.M. and baseball stood out. He left town to pursue his non-practical dream of obtaining a liberal arts degree but got distracted on the way; he bought a guitar, taught himself to play and write songs started performing around Birmingham. Shaun left the University of Wolverhampton with a degree in American Studies which affirmed an oft ignored feeling that he had been born on the wrong continent. He continued to write, perform and record music whilst holding various bill-paying jobs until he moved to Germany. Soon after arriving, he exchanged writing songs for longer texts and eventually began his first novel London, in Limbo. Shaun is an English teacher and is now working on the difficult task of three second novels.
