More about the book

Set in the less glamorous suburbs of northeast London, the narrative paints a vivid picture of a region characterized by its middle-class life amidst a backdrop of monotony. The streets are wide and populated, featuring a mix of prosperity and drabness, with countless brick houses and a lack of vibrancy. Despite the sun shining on this October morning, the pervasive smoke dulls the freshness of the surroundings. The residents, accustomed to their environment, navigate their lives with a sense of resignation, marked by a blend of ambition and routine.
