A reflective meditation on the intersection of class and race, as played out in one London neighborhood. There are few moments of satisfying narrative resolution here, but a lot of lifelike, open-ended existential questions and despair. In a good way! I enjoyed this book, but know that it doesn't try to comfort its reader.
Moderate: Addiction, Drug abuse, Drug use, Abortion, Trafficking, and Animal cruelty
Minor: Rape
