'The truth and humour in this intensely fine and lyrical short story collection shines a light that is ultimately uplifting' —Martina Evans, poet and novelist
Welcome to Broadwater Farm, one of the most well-known housing estates in Britain. A place where post-war dreams of concrete utopia ended in violence and sub-standard housing.
This is a London that has rarely been told.
In this collection of interconnected short stories, Tottenham-born Jac Shreeves-Lee gives voice to the people of Broadwater Farm.
With evocative language and raw storytelling, she compassionately portrays their shared sense of community. A community with a rich cultural heritage, comprising over forty nationalities and generations old.
