Visitation -- Guest -- Host -- Crossing.
"Four Londoners - Leah, Natalie, Felix, and Nathan - try to make adult lives outside of Caldwell, the council estate of their childhood. From private houses to public parks, at work and at play, their London is a complicated place, as beautiful as it is brutal, where the thoroughfares hide the back alleys and taking the high road can sometimes lead you to a dead end."--From publisher's information.

Robust Novel Bursting with Life
submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 19, 2020, 6:36am
Zadie Smith once declared London is "a state of mind," and this novel – vigorous and affirming, yet steadfast in its depiction of ordinary Londoners – offers us an essence of what that means.
