LONDON CALLING - #InOurMadandFuriousCity takes place over 48 hours in a North London estate. Described by Waterstones as an authentic account of a less visible but fully lived #London.

Our story follows a group of young men and their parents, with “elsewhere in their blood” who live in and around the council estate in Neasden. There's Yusuf, who is doing his best to avoid the attention of local Muslim extremists. Ardan, the aspiring rapper with a troublesome home life and Selvon, an obsessively disciplined athlete desperate to escape the neighbourhood. We have Caroline, one of the older protagonists, who fled Northern Ireland during the Troubles and Selvon, a mute and wheelchair bound man part of the Windrush generation.

 Written by British #SriLankanauthor Guy Gunaratne, we could not pick this book being Londoners ourselves.
