Mother London

By: Moorcock, Michael

Shortlisted for the Whitbread Award, award-winning author of the Elric series Michael Moorcock offers a captivating and immersive portrait of London from World War II through the 1980s through the eyes of three outpatients from a mental hospital.In this masterful exploration of the human condition, three outpatients from a mental hospital--a music hall artist, reclusive writer, and a woman just awoken from a long coma--experience the history of London from the Blitz to the late 1980s through a chaotic experience of sensory delusions. Believing themselves to hear voices from London's past, their fragmented and poignant stories create a tapestry of episodes, snippets, and sidelines that capture the essence of those living on society's fringes. What The Guardian calls "a great, humane document," Mother London is a literary work that transcends time and place and is a must-read for literary and historical fiction fans alike.
