Big Nobody

For Constance ‘Connie’ Costa, life is just beginning. She dreams of leaving behind her dull, dreary life in ‘70s Leyton, shaking off her deeply embarrassing Greek-Cypriot community of interfering Aunties and pretend ‘cousins’, and running away with her best mate Vas (fellow misfit; owner of NHS specs and the soul of a poet). She is determined to take her rightful place alongside her heroes, David Bowie and Dave Gilmour, onstage at Wembley Stadium.Only one thing stands in her way: her father, The Fat Murderer. No longer content with being an absolute imbecile and general abomination of nature, ever since the death of her mother, he has dialled up his campaign to ruin Connie’s life…If she ever wants to claim the destiny that is rightfully hers, Connie has only one option left: to kill him.Fizzingly original, disarmingly tender and laugh-out-loud funny, BIG NOBODY is a coming-of-age story about first love, first grief, and the long, painful journey to feeling like a somebody.
