You can see what Bernard Hare is doing now on his own site here
Wikipedia on the East End Park area
A news report on the Angela Pearce murder

A discussion of the book on the East Leeds Memories site - the writers tend to be older people who don't still live in Leeds
A very good 5 star review from Amazon: "This is an extraordinarily well written book and cleverly depicts how hard it is for those on the outside to get in"
& a very dismissive 2 star review: "Let's face it, your life is pretty screwed up. But none of this is your fault, at least not according to Bernard Hare; you see this is the fault of Society, which has failed you and your whole community"
