Jack & Bet - Sarah Butler PB

Design and embroidery


Jack and Bet are in their late eighties and have been married for seventy years, despite Bet’s infidelities and discontents. Set in South London’s Elephant and Castle as the Heygate estate is demolished, Jack & Bet addresses the housing crisis in London, bringing to life the intimate lived experience of home amongst the harsh realities of urban regeneration.

The brief for the paperback was to feature Jack and Bet and their relationship without making the cover too saccharine.
