LITTLE
AND
THE
BIG
GIRL'S
BLOUSE
Maggie
Gibson
From
the
back
cover
of
the
book:
Having
been
sacked
by
her
vindictive
boss,
Alice
Little
finds
herself
homeless
and
jobless.
Her
best
friend,
Conor
-
the
eponymous
Girl's
Blouse
-
sugest
she
comes
and
works
in
the
Samovar,
a
cafe
which
he
runs
with
his
boyfriend,
a
hirsute
Ukrainian
called
Hector.
When
Immigraion
start
to
pursue
Hector,
Alice
finds
herself
agreeing
to
marry
him
in
exchange
for
a
cut
in
the
cafe.
Invevitibly,
the
success
of
the
Samovar
attracts
the
attention
of
local
gangster
Jesse
James
and
his
bodyguard-cum-hit
man,
Joxer
Boxer.
The
situation
goes
from
bad
to
worse
due
to
some
double-dealing
by
Hector,
and
Alice
has
to
fight
to
hold
everything
-
including
Conor
-
together.
All
Alice
has
to
fall
back
on
is
a
bit
of
native
wit
and
a
little
help
from
her
friend
and
neighbour
Madame
Maxine,
Dominatrix
