Description
Underwood Lane is set against a backdrop of bleakness and decay. A winter sun hangs low in the sky, casting a sickly glow over the blackened tenements that rise from the cobbled street like a row of broken teeth. The city's dark history seeps from every crumbling brick and rusty pipe, its streets a labyrinth of secrets and shadows. In this unforgiving environment, lives are lived on the edge, and hope is a fleeting thing. John Byrne's prose is as stark and unflinching as the world he depicts, yet it is also infused with a deep humanity that makes even the bleakest scenes feel strangely poignant.
