N-W follows the lives of several characters who grew up in the Northwest of London. It expands on the lives they build for themselves after growing up in poverty, and how they cope as adults. This region of London functions, sort of, as another character in the novel, but one treated as universal, as if it needn't be explained to the reader — N-W standing in for any other depressed region; however, since it is described as if the reader knows it intimately, I found it more impenetrable than universal.
