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 unsettling truths. . .
Tom Allen brings his trademark dark comedy to the page in this brilliant novel about what it truly means to be a neighbourhood.
With his signature acerbic wit and riotous storytelling, Tom Allen has cemented himself as a household name and star on both stage and screen. He's best known as the hilarious co-hosts Cooking with the Stars alongside Emma Willis and is a regular on Bake Off: An Extra Slice. He's the author of two critically acclaimed memoirs: No Shame, which was a Sunday Times bestseller, and Too Much. Common Decency is his debut novel. Tom's sold-out Completely tour of 2023 and 2024 was extended multiple times, selling over a hundred and fifty thousand tickets. He co-hosts the hit podcast Like Minded Friends alongside Suzi Ruffell, and can also be seen and heard hosting his brand-new visualised podcast Pottering, where he invites you into his garden for a chat and a stroll, alongside some very special guests.
