About the book
Having been sacked by her vindictive boss, Alice Little finds herself homeless and jobless. Her best friend, Conor - the eponymous Girl's Blouse - suggests she comes and works in the Samovar, a cafe which he runs with his boyfriend, a hirsute Ukrainian called Hector. When Immigration start to pursue Hector, Alice finds herself agreeing to marry him in exchange for a cut in the cafe.

Inevitably, the success of the Samovar attracts the attention of local gangster Jesse James and his bodyguard-cum-hit man, Joxer Boxer. The situation goes from bad to worse due to some double-dealing by Hector, and Alice has to fight to hold everything - including Conor - together. All Alice has to fall back on is a bit of native wit and a little help from her friend and neighbour Madame Maxine, Dominatrix (all credit cards accepted).
