No Fixed Address opens with Felix agreeing to tell his story up until now to Constable Lee, on the November night before he is due to go to the hotel.The story then goes back in time to the previous summer. How does this affect your expectations as you read the book? Can you think of other examples of stories (whether novels, films or television) where this device is used?
