Description
London Belongs to Me (Penguin Modern Classics) by Norman Collins is set against the backdrop of working-class London on the eve of the Second World War. As the prospect of war hangs over the city, its inhabitants continue to live, work and struggle in their daily lives. At the lodging-house at No.10 Dulcimer Street, Kennington, a cast of characters come together, each with their own stories and struggles. From the buttoned-up clerk Mr Josser to the flashy young mechanic Percy Boon, this is a tale of ordinary London life, full of comedy, savagery, eccentricity and quiet heroism. Norman Collins was a British writer and radio/television executive, known for his novels and plays. If you enjoyed this book, you might also like Sam Selvon's The Lonely Londoners, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
