London is a place of random meetings, shifting relationships - and some, like Chrissie, intersect with many. The wonderful Linda Grant weaves a tale around ideas of home; how London can be a place of exile or expulsion, how home can be a physical place or an idea, how all our lives intersect. \n'Reminds us of the depth and strength of the communities that are our beloved London. Thank you' Philippe Sands\n'There's a Dickensian quality to the opening scene and yet it's one of the most bitingly contemporary publications of the year - a shifting, polyphonic narrative' Hephzibah Anderson, Mail on Sunday\n'There is a richness in this novel, found in a migrant experience that is deeply embedded rather than distinct from its environment... a compelling read' Jake Arnott, Guardian\n'The novel is fleet-footed... the way even the minor characters flare into life gives the novel richness and depth... a novel fit for shifting, uncertain times' Suzi Feay, Financial Times","brand":"Little, Brown Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50600757625120,"sku":"9780349010489","price":9.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780349010489.jpg?v=1785394742","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/stranger-city-linda-grant-9780349010489","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
