Onions
  • Rated 4 stars

London, one of the world's busiest cities. Londoners, making their way in the bustle of all that industry.

Eleven is a story of reactions, how the action & inaction of individuals impact on their neighbours, colleagues, loved-ones, strangers... Centring on Xavier Ireland, a late-night DJ, it deals with the moments in our lives when we impact on others and, unintentionally, redirect their lives.

Eleven is accessible, clever, thoughtful & underwhelming, a lot like the protagonist. But it is beautifully characterised, the story and all it's intricate parts flow really well together, and most importantly of all, it's a page-turner.
