Taking his inspiration from Dylan Thomas` Under Milk Wood, Louis de Bernieres chose to celebrate his ten years of life in the south London suburb, living above a small shop that had been by turns an outlet for oversized naughty clothes for transvestites, a West Indian hairdressers & a junk shop, by writing of the people that he had known & come to love in his time there. Brilliantly capturing the myriad voices of modern Britain, with their different rhythms of speech & accents, their humour & their tragedy, jokes & gossip, de Bernieres` tour de force takes us to the heart of a community & its spirit
- the lives & loves, the tears & the laughter of its people.
