He''s a household name . . . without a home

Jake is an actor, a household name thanks to his role on the UK''s most popular soap. But his character went upstairs to his bedroom six months ago and never came down again, and now Jake is facing an uncertain future. Add to that his dad''s anger issues, the family''s precarious finances and the demands of a severely autistic brother; Jake''s home feels like a powder keg waiting to explode. It''s easier to spend nights on friends'' sofas and futons, but what happens when you feel like a cuckoo in every nest?

Cuckoo is a novel about the roles we play when we don''t fit in anywhere, and finding unlikely solace when home is the least welcoming place of all.

Industry Reviews

A very modern tale of adolescent love and identity ... the humour is good (Keren David is funny on the resemblance of the London Jewish community to the 19th-century aristocracy) and the complexities and confusion of life for teenagers is brought to life well in a novel told from both Kitty and Theo's perspectives. - Telegraph on This Is Not A Love Story

This Is Not A Love Story evokes Amsterdam beautifully - Amanda Craig, New Statesman, 'Best Children's Books of for the Summer' on This Is Not A Love Story

A compassionate examination of race, class and societal expectation - The Financial Times on Salvage

Life-affirming, witty and uplifting... David gets better with every book - Daily Mail on Salvage

Keren David's writing...has heart without being sentimental, is skilfully plotted, and its emotional and moral landscapes are nuanced. ...[Salvage is a] gripping ride. - the Guardian on Salvage
