The Nepenthe Park Chronicles

Description

The Nepenthe Park Chronicles is a gloriously subversive book set on one of London's most deprived kitchen sink estates. The reader is taken through a visceral journey into a city that they may be familiar with, into the cadence and swagger of the urban street, right into the recesses of the confuting mind of a Gus quietly raging, an Ashleigh stricken as her ambitions are impeded, and a Johnny Freelander despairing at the structural death of his adolescence. This belligerent novel is beautifully written by debut novelist Ali Kinteh.
