A review by mswm36
Three Brothers by Peter Ackroyd

3.0

At one stage, the narrator describes a book that one of the brothers is writing about London's popular culture: "one of the themes of [the] book concerned the patterns of association that linked the people of the city; a preoccupation with the image of London as a web so taut and tightly drawn that the slightest movement of any part sent reverberations through the whole." This description could easily be applied to Ackroyd's story as well.
