Loyalties, money, love, and leaving London.

The Bricks That Built The Houses could be a great read for anyone looking for a unique and character-driven story about complicated relationships and moral dilemmas. Kate Tempest's novel combines poetry and prose to create a vivid and visceral portrait of a group of friends trying to navigate their way through life while staying true to themselves and each other. The book's strongest feature is its ability to capture the intricacies of human connection and the way our pasts shape our present and future. Overall, this is a must-read for fans of literary fiction and urban realism.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

It gets into your bones. You don't even realise it, until you're driving through it, watching all the things you've always known and leaving them behind. Young Londoners Becky, Harry and Leon are escaping the city in a fourth-hand Ford Cortina with a suitcase full of stolen money. Taking us back in time - and into the heart of London - The Bricks that Built the Houses explores a cross-section of contemporary urban life with a powerful moral microscope, giving us intimate stories of hidden lives, and showing us that good intentions don't always lead to the right decisions. Leading us into the homes and hearts of ordinary people, their families and their communities, Kate Tempest exposes moments of beauty, disappointment, ambition and failure. Wise but never cynical, driven by empathy and ethics, The Bricks the Built the Houses questions how we live with and love one another.
