Have you ever wondered what your neighbours really get up to behind closed doors? 
 
Welcome to paradise: Pollards Close, Littlehaven, where the women are happy and the men go out to work. Here the UK's lowest crime rate goes hand in hand with the highest suicide rate; international politics is about as relevant as intergalactic war and you'll need anti-depressants before entering the nuclear fallout shelter. 
 
Follow Linda Palmer, queen of suburbia, on an unforgettable descent through hysteria, adultery, aerobics and gazpacho into the black heart of suburbia, during a decade that taste forgot. 
 
The Rise and Fall of the Queen of Suburbia is a darkly comic portrait of families, marriage, underage and overage sex, fake fur and black forest gateaux.
