Quatrième de couverture
I pounded the Somers Town streets as doggedly as any vendor or hawker, determined to report on the notorious slums. The dwellings of the poor were insanitary, overcrowded, unsafe, I already knew. That they were home to all manner of vice and degradation I also knew. What shocked me was discovering how much the tenants paid for the privilege of living there. Something was amiss. Somebody must be making a great deal of money.
So begins David Wildeblood’s investigation. And what the idealistic young journalist uncovers is a trail of corruption that leads to the very highest level of society. But the truth comes at a cost - David's life, and those of his loyal friends in the streets, is put in great danger...
‘Magnificent' Daily Mail
‘Quinn blends his history, his political concerns, his ideals, his plot and his characters elegantly, with a light hand and the pace of a thriller’ Daily Telegraph
‘Terrific...Quinn has a thrilling knack for turning familiar periods of history into something surprising and often shocking, and for making the fortunes and misfortunes of his characters matter’ Evening Standard
Revue de presse
"Ambitious, gripping and disturbingly well done." (Kate Saunders The Times)
"Quinn’s most mature novel yet... His picture of poverty’s shaming, dehumanizing effect is powerful, and the recurrent call for pity heartfelt. Ms Eliot and Mr Dickens would surely approve." (Holly Kyte Sunday Telegraph)
"Cements his reputation as an accomplished and challenging novelist... Though it takes place 130 years ago, the questions that The Streets poses about how, as a society and individuals, we tackle deprivation arguably remain just as pertinent." (Peter Stanford Independent)
"Quinn blends his history, his political concerns, his ideals, his plot and his characters elegantly, with a light hand and the pace of a thriller." (Louisa Young Daily Telegraph)
"Displays the unsentimental yet powerful flair for romance that characterized his previous novel, Half of the Human Race. Perhaps most exciting of all, there is a sense that he is still writing within himself." (Tom Cox Sunday Times)
