About the Book

Pegs and Holes in Cottonopolis documents the coming of age of Patrick in 1980s Manchester, as the area was economically disintegrating. Patrick struggles with motherly ambition, unintelligible dialects, hairy bullies, unrequited love, and friends seeking football terrace glory. Eventually, he is forced to confront the difficult choices that he must make to secure his future.

'...part Trainspotting, part Inbetweeners and part all its own thing, offering a snapshot of life in Thatcherite Britain .... it's very funny...' Tim Bolitho-Jones

''...a must-read...unlike anything I've read before....I'll start with a warning - this is not a book for your Richard-and-Judy book group!' Phil Chatterton

'Riffs on the classic coming-of-age novel...the humour provides some grim, often grimy and occasionally hilarious tales of the impetus for Patrick who can neither safely pogo within the status quo, nor dodge the now-crumbling social order or his parent's expectations.' Clare Allan (Writers Victoria).

'Very atmospheric and authentic...description of post-industrial Manchester resonated with me...."Hooligan" genre now very much overdone and to rise above the dross a book has to be well-written, humorous, authentic and able to connect to a cultural and social historical context...your book meets those criteria admirably.' Martin Knight, Author of Common People.

'I enjoyed reading Pegs and Holes immensely, and would gladly have kept going beyond the final page...Paddy's story is very funny in places, and affecting...I felt that you invoked the period wonderfully well.' Martin Ouvry, Author of Frugality.

'...I loved it. Ashe More is a skilled writer who is definitely on my watch list for the future.' Andy Swindells, Author of 'Work Rest and Slay

'Extremely funny - occasionally I had to put the book down to laugh.'

'If you've ever gone through the sheer terror of the first day at a concrete-covered mental health hellhole disguised as an English secondary school, you'll sympathise with the unfortunately named hero.'

'...made me laugh throughout. Also made me think about how life unfolds as random events you often have you work your way around.'

'...contains laughter, sadness, hope and disappointment...beautifully crafted.'

'Being a blue...I didn't know what to expect from this work of fiction involving a United fan....I hate to admit it, but I loved it.'

'...well-constructed...enough lewd humour to keep you chuckling along.'

'A coming-of-age story of a young man growing up in Manchester...plenty of laughs as well as some serious issues.'

'I couldn't put this book down...I await the sequel with eager anticipation.'

'A hilarious coming of age book...many laugh out loud moments!'

'Moore depicts them (events), not through the indulgent rose-tinted lens favoured by many writers, but through small nuances that in isolation amount to not much, but when written together, evoke a strong recollection of how life was.'

'I found this book impossible to put down once I had picked it up. Full of hilarious episodes...my laughter ... almost hospitalised me with a hernia.'

'...a great laugh from start to finish.'
