From the author of Nightingale Point, longlisted for the Women's
Prize for Fiction, comes a new thought-provoking and timely novel.
'A sharp, funny, wonderful writer' Diana Evans, Ordinary People
'These Streets turns a spotlight on the strength and resilience
required to overcome physical and emotional adversity that never
should have been yours in the first place. Important and
remarkable' Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry 'A brilliant book
written with warmth and sensitivity that I recommend most highly. I
loved it unreservedly' My Weekly * * * Amidst the hustle and bustle
of life in east London, these people are trying to hold onto hope
in an ever-changing world . . . Jess is a single mother to two
teenagers. All her energy goes into keeping them safe and happy.
Being faced with eviction is a setback she wasn't prepared for, but
Jess never lets circumstances dent her optimism. Hazel is
Oxbridge-bound and ready to fly the nest, but she's tired of being
treated like a child. It's no wonder she can't tell her mum, Jess
the truth about what she's been up to lately . . . Ben has recently
moved back to east London with just his faithful dog Harold for
company. When he meets Jess, he realises they've crossed paths
before. But can he keep this connection hidden from the woman he's
starting to fall for? As the world continues to turn, these
ordinary people will soon realise that, even with everything around
them changing, the whisper of hope remains. Set in east London,
These Streets is a powerful and essential story about family,
community and living in Britain today, told with compassion and
heart. * * * Readers are giving These Streets five stars! 'Powerful
and rewarding . . . Goldie tells a very good story with real care
and craft. There will be much praise for this book, and deservedly
so' Reader review, 'A beautiful book about a normal family - I
absolutely loved it!' Reader review,
General
