THE BRICKS THAT BUILT THE HOUSES
Book ID/图书代码： 02000013B65804
English Summary/英文概要： Award-winning poet Kate Tempest’s astonishing debut novel elevates the ordinary to the
extraordinary in this multi-generational tale set in south London
Young Londoners Becky, Harry and Leon are escaping the city with a suitcase full of stolen money. Taking us back in time, and into the heart of the capital, The Bricks That Built the Houses explores a cross-section of contemporary urban life
with a powerful moral and literary microscope, exposing the everyday stories that lie behind the tired faces on the morning commute, and what happens when your best intentions don’t always lead to the right decisions. Wise but never cynical, and driven by empathy and ethics, it introduces a thrilling new literary voice.
