Description
London Lies Beneath by Stella Duffy is a powerful and compelling novel inspired by real events. In August 1912, three friends set out on an adventure that will change them forever. Tom, Jimmy, and Itzhak have grown up together in the crowded slums of south London, but their lives take very different paths when they embark on a scouting trip from Waterloo to Sheppey. This is a story of friendship, tragedy, and a hidden world of working-class families with complex histories. Stella Duffy's narrative is as fluid as a costermonger's patter, carrying the reader along. With vivid prose and a deep understanding of the city that inspired it, Duffy has created a novel that is both a paean to south London and a tribute to a vanished way of life. Rich in life and full of wisdom, London Lies Beneath is a gripping historical novel that will appeal to fans of action, adventure, and historical fiction.
