"The Scent of Dried Roses", a memoir of his family and his own life, remains his most acclaimed work. Beginning with the tragedy of his own mother's suicide, his memoir is a rich account. On the broader scale, he paints nuanced pictures of what it means to be working class, and how the English suburbs developed from the 50s to the 80s. More personally, also describes his own life journey, as he began to move beyond his family's roots, then go through depression and emerge at the other side only to face renewed tragedy, when the mother who had been so caring for him with his own mental illness, takes her own life. He refuses to give easy answers as he tries to understand what has gone on. It is both poignant and sharply observed.
His fiction is similarly well observed, balancing both character led drama with social commentary.
He has also had a weekly column in the London Evening Standard.
