Description
Set against the turbulent backdrop of 1930s London, May Day is an inventive and experimental novel that explores the complexities of idealism, manipulation, and violence.
Over the course of three days in mid-May, a diverse range of characters are drawn into a maelstrom of militant anger, police brutality, and social upheaval. As the East End, City, and West End become increasingly entangled, the boundaries between right and wrong begin to blur.
This gripping tale offers a thought-provoking portrayal of a period marked by heightened social awareness, where the forces of change are both inspiring and destructive.
