Nothing Ever Happens in Wentbridge

Dallas is on the telly, Abba are number one, Starsky and Hutch are on her bedroom wall, and Janet is falling in love for the first time. In the warm glow of the local pub, over cider, Tetleys and with a close-knit gang of friends, life for Janet and Mark couldn’t be better. Then, one morning, her mother’s worst fears for Janet are realised and a decision is made that will change everything. Nothing Ever Happens in Wentbridge is a true story from the emotional front line of a first love. This beautiful and vivid account of Mark and Janet, their lives, love and loss, shows how the mind has an uncanny ability to ignore what it doesn’t want to acknowledge. Until it has to.
