A fierce story about friendship and competition set among London's forgotten girl gangs for fans of The Girls by Emma Cline

_______________________

We never ran the place on paper, but we had reigned here as Kings, reigned over the world we created for ourselves.


1957, London. A gang of girls called the Kings rule the bomb-struck streets of Finsbury Park. When Harry, their unpredictable but charismatic leader, tries to encroach on the territory of the rival Seven Sisters gang, the Kings know they're in for a fight.

Armed with flick knives and fists, they do battle in dancehalls and on football fields. But with the authorities closing in and conscripted boys threatening to reclaim what was once theirs, the Kings must ask if they're willing to pay the price of loyalty...
