Review
Hauntingly beautiful * Sunday Mirror * A paean not just to South London, but to a vanished way of working-class life . . . Duffy's narrative is as fluid as a costermonger's patter, carrying the reader along * Daily Mail * Vivid ... [and] full of heart, Duffy's new novel is a fitting hymn to the city that inspired it * Financial Times * As gloriously alive as the turn of the century south London streets it portrays * Red magazine * Crafted in glorious prose and teeming with genuine wisdom, London Lies Beneath is a story of youth, adventure, friendship and tragedy. Beautifully layered and anchored in extraordinary historical detail, this is a story that truly haunts. Be careful when you pick up this novel, it will stay with you forever * Priya Parmar * A great novel about South London and one that finds the essentially rural nature of its roots, Stella Duffy has made this exotic domain her own * Jake Arnott * Stella Duffy reinvents her personal wheel with every few books and this promises another exciting departure * Patrick Gale * A writer who never lets you down * Ali Smith * Compelling and masterful . . . a powerful and rich read * Elle *

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Joe McLaren (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with fulkl number line. SIGNED, DATED AND INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR, IN BLACK PEN, ON TITLE PAGE '12 November 2016, For Jean with all best wishes and in memory of the real boys, with all best wishes Stella Duffy'. Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, bottom corners very slightly bruised, slight lean, not price clipped (£16.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ copy. 309pp. In August 1912, three friends set out on an adventure. Two of them come home. Tom, Jimmy and Itzhak have grown up together in the crowded slums of Walworth. All three boys are expected to follow their father's trades and stay close to home. But Tom has wider dreams. So when he hears of a scouting trip sailing from Waterloo to Sheppey and the mouth of the Thames, he is determined to go, and Itzhak and Jimmy go with him. Inspired by real events, this is the story of three friends, and a tragedy that will change them for ever. It is also a song of south London, of working class families with hidden histories, of a bright and complex world long neglected. 'London Lies Beneath' is a powerful and compelling novel, rich with life and full of wisdom. Very scarce signed. Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 010555
