Frank's rhubarb business goes belly up and he's on the dole. He wants to work as a window cleaner but, at the same time, still claim his benefits... but how can he fool the DSS? By creating his own doppelganger, of course. Unfortunately Frankie, his musclebound Frankenstein, soon starts to desire a life of his own. Our Review: A quirky and fun tale, but you probably need to be a fan of poetry to enjoy it to its full extend. |
