Henry Antrim is a social worker hooked on dope and one night stands. His loathing of red tape and obsessive desire to do the right thing puts him in constant conflict with his bosses. He has his deceased mother's rosary in one pocket and a three pack of condoms in another. Set in Swansea's Catholic community in the mid-2000s, Welshrats is a highly topical, genre bending novel. Thought-provoking, funny and sometimes shocking, it highlights the complex challenges that face social workers in the battle to do the right thing.
