'Unforgettable and stirring...An important debut' Alice Ash, author of Paradise Block
Happy publication day @joebedford_uk ! I was lucky enough to read a review copy and was blown away by this high octane ride through 2010s political activism. Personal loyalties and idealism reach boiling point under a sweltering Brighton sun. @parthianbooks pic.twitter.com/61zw4PzAbE

At once a letter of support to everyone disillusioned by British politics, and a deeply perceptive snapshot of modern relationships, A Bad Decade for Good People is a captivating state-of-the-nation tale that begs the question: when it feels like the world is falling apart, how do you keep those you love from doing the same?
