For Nil Consideration [FNC] is Dave Brooks', first novel. The story is based on the true life events that almost destroyed a new family. The story is set in the fictional Sheraton Moss estate on Teesside. FNC, as told through the eyes of the daughter of Dawn and Jack Evans, takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster.
"The
divorce was now looming. Mum was trying to remain friends with
Dad, despite his obnoxious behaviour. I think it was an attempt,
certainly on Mum's side of things, to try and make their separation as
painless as possible for Mike and me. Little did any of us
realise at the time just how awful things would become..."
FNC
