About the book
A working-class neighbourhood in war-torn London; the older generation haunted by 'our war back when we was young'; the damage wrought by a woman's lie; Jeanne, a girl with 'ideas above her station'; Tom, the enigmatic American whom she loves 'more than life itself'; his London, 'the most luxurious siege in history': two worlds, two wars; the truth too far out to reach...
What people are saying...
"All The Old Familiar Places is a remarkable recreation of life in London during World War Two – remarkable because although the setting, as the title suggests, will be familiar to many readers, the narrative voice is utterly original….This is a portrait of particular people at a particular time and it is executed with skill and sensitivity, offering a fresh and illuminating view of human nature against the backdrop of a world at war.'
