Jane Gaskell - A Sweet, Sweet Summer
Review
near-future set novel of a teen(?) in an england where social order has broken down, gangs of communists and fascists are fighting and controlling large areas of inner cities, and on top of this, super-powerful aliens dictate orders sent from their ships hovering(?) above major cities - and pel's strange, wild cousin frijja comes to stay...

- i didn't get very far into this, before i had to renew it, or return it to the library. i returned it.
