Life drawing for beginners [pbk.] by Meaney, Roisin

Yes, it's not "The life drawing, but Live figure drawing... class. The author is a wonderful writer: stylistically and grammar-wise. But it is the characters that all are a pretty low-life specimen that she draws here, in this novel: scary and not desirable, mostly. Among them, unwed young girls with children and fatherless. Or dead relatives because of drugs smuggling. I do not advice the reading of the book.
