'Tom writes with a perfect comic voice, about a place no one knows better, suburbia. A beautiful book about a much ignored area of British life' JOSH WIDDICOMBE
It may be quiet in the suburbs, but it's far from peaceful . . .
Oak Drive can be found nestled tidily in an unassuming English town. Its uniform front gardens overlook a midsized common which the street's residents survey with quiet, some might say smug, pride.
This is the sort of place where it pays to sweat the small stuff, and let the big things look after themselves. Bins should be placed back in their right positions in a timely fashion and paintwork should share the same tasteful but muted palette.
Sometimes, however, the big things do not look after themselves - and all hell can break loose in sleepy suburbia.
Common Decency chronicles the lives and interactions of the street's residents as they band together to save a beloved oak tree from destruction at the hands of ruthless developers.
As tensions rise and repressed neuroses and resentments seep out, the secrets of Oak Drive threaten to shatter the well-ordered veneer, revealing some rather more surprising truths. . .
Tom Allen brings his trademark dark comedy to the page in this brilliant novel about what it truly means to be a neighbourhood.

Reseñas de la crítica
A fantastic frothy read about suburbia with all Tom Allen's great style, teasing but tender-hearted. Make it a sit com! (Jacqueline Wilson, international #1 bestselling author)
A deliciously witty suburban comedy of manners with real bite, shot through with Tom Allen's trademark humour. A brilliant debut novel! (Terry Deary, international #1 bestselling author)
Absolutely fantastic, I love Tom Allen! (Sara Cox, SUNDAY TIMES bestseller)
Genuinely charming, and so well-written. With Tom Allen in charge of the narrative you know you will be held from the first page to the last. Some beautiful close-up characterisation, and always the sense that something big is about to go very wrong or very right for the central characters. I kept coming back to this book just to enjoy the sheer richness of these ordinary lives. Read this book instead of doom-scrolling and you will go to bed happy. Sharp and clever, just like Tom (Jeremy Vine, SUNDAY TIMES bestseller)
Tom is a born storyteller and his acerbic wit, wicked humour and instinctive humanity combine triumphantly in Common Decency. His characters are brilliantly observed and comfortingly familiar, and the minutiae of their lives were as compelling as their dramas. I read it over two sittings and I LOVED IT! (Ruth Hogan, SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author)
Ever wonder what's behind the twitching curtains in a respectable leafy middle-class suburb? Here's your answer with knobs on. Charming and comical with a sardonic raised eyebrow. Very Tom Allen! (Jo Brand, SUNDAY TIMES bestseller)
Tom writes with a perfect comic voice, about a place no one knows better, suburbia. A beautiful book about a much ignored area of British life (Josh Widdicombe)
A confident move into fiction from the witty and charming comedian, with a sharp and affectionate dissection of stultifying suburbia and the garden-variety weirdos who call it home (Justin Myers)
Allen's incisive humour and descriptive prose make this light-touch domestic mystery a worthwhile read
