In Cardiff’s offices and call centres the twenty-something white collar workers of the new sweatshops email each other with work issues, jokes,arrangements for their social lives, gossip and the products of sheer boredom…

Selected Press Reviews:

Nicholas Clee, The Guardian, December 2006

"In offering a dark comedy, Llewellyn shows more taste than do many more earnest seekers of artistic relevance. Llewellyn’s novel is a funny, disturbing view of a disaffected age"

Anna Scott, New Welsh Review, March 2007

"The rapid-fire volley of email traffic provides the ideal vehicle for Llewellyn’s spiky humour ... Eleven conveys a longing to reach beyond the frequently alienating experience of modern-day life to something more meaningful and humane”.

Ray French, Planet, October 2006

"Llewellyn has a real talent for comedy and Eleven is often laugh out loud funny ... Llewellyn skilfully and poignantly reveals the complications and evasions of the characters’ relationships and this gradual stripping away of layers is one of the most satisfying aspects of the novel ... Eleven is a compulsive read, and I devoured it entirely in one sitting, unable to put it down. It’s easy to imagine this becoming a cult book for the disillusioned younger generation contemplating a future in the new corporate sweatshops, who will recognise many of the characters and situations. I am already looking forward to Llewellyn’s next novel".
