More about the book

Set in the northeast suburbs of London, the narrative unfolds on a bright October morning, contrasting the vibrant life of the area with its monotonous architecture and the struggles of its inhabitants. This district, characterized by its comfortable middle-class existence, features wide streets and green front gardens, yet is overshadowed by a lack of charm and personality in its brick houses. The atmosphere is lively, but the people's routines reflect a sense of resignation to their circumstances, hinting at the deeper social dynamics at play.
