A review by eshalliday
London Lies Beneath by Stella Duffy

4.0

This novel popped into my mind the other day, and sent me searching for other Stella Duffy novels to read. The fact that it's still on my mind 4 years after reading it is testament to what an enchanting novel this is. It's more of a series of snapshots than a flowing narrative, but 'London Lies Beneath' is wonderfully lyrical. This is an ode to London, the Thames, to boyish dreams, and to bittersweet family life. Stella Duffy (OBE) richly chronicles this cast of complex, interlocked lives.
