Description

Hangover Square, a novel by Patrick Hamilton, is a darkly comic portrayal of a world on the brink of war. Set in London's fog-bound streets in 1939, the story follows George Harvey Bone as he navigates a seedy underworld of saloon bars, lodging houses, and boozing philosophers.

Hamilton's writing evokes the slang and conversational tone of a generation, capturing the premonitions of doom that pervaded London life in the months leading up to the war. With its unique blend of humor and suspense, Hangover Square is a gripping tale of obsession, desire, and the darker aspects of human nature.
