Louise Hare / This Lovely City (Hardback)

An atmospheric and utterly compelling debut novel about a Jamaican immigrant living in postwar London,&nbsp;This Lovely City&nbsp;shows that new arrivals have always been the prime suspects ― but that even in the face of anger and fear, there is always hope.London, 1950. With the war over and London still rebuilding, jazz musician Lawrie Matthews has answered England&rsquo;s call for labour. Arriving from Jamaica aboard the&nbsp;Empire Windrush,&nbsp;he&rsquo;s rented a tiny room in south London and fallen in love with the girl next door.Playing in Soho&rsquo;s jazz clubs by night and pacing the streets as a postman by day, Lawrie has poured his heart into his new home ― and it&rsquo;s alive with possibility. Until one morning, while crossing a misty common, he makes a terrible discovery.As the local community rallies, fingers of blame point at those who were recently welcomed with open arms. And before long, London&rsquo;s newest arrivals become the prime suspects in a tragedy that threatens to tear the city apart. Immersive, poignant, and utterly compelling, Louise Hare&rsquo;s debut examines the complexities of love and belonging, and teaches us that even in the face of anger and fear, there is always hope. &nbsp; This book is second hand, and while you may not get the same publication/version/reprint/edition shown in the picture it will be the same author and title.
