      BEWARE THE DWARFS is a novel within a novel. It is the story of Charlotte, Harriet, Liz, Rebecca, Joyce and a few of the men who lurk at the perimeters. Sometimes flatmates, sometimes best friends, sometimes the worst of enemies. Modern girls whose world is turned upside down when one of their number uses the truth about their little lives as though it were fiction... Set predominantly in London it investigates their twenty-something aspirations; their dreams; their conquests; their failures; their desire to be 'big' players - successful, rich, loved, cherished. As the girls leave the freedoms and excuses of their youth behind, they face not only the small-minded people (the dwarfs) who want to drag them down, but also the realities, challenges and ever-shifting rules of modern relationships.
