I read a book about 3 years ago about a young boy who grew up in the 1970s on a council estate in Croydon. It is a story about abuse and neglect by his alcoholic mother and father, his struggle and how he has now turned his life around. Can anyone help me on the author/title ? Many thanks.

That's the one, thank you very much for that, it was driving me up the wall - I will look out for the other book too. Thanks again :0)

Sounds like 'The Kid' to me.

Kevin is now a crime novelist and a pretty good one at that.
