Society Within

by Courttia Newland

Book Overview

SOCIETY WITHIN takes us back to the Greenside Estate, West London, scene of Courttia Newland's ground-breaking and hugely successful first novel, THE SCHOLAR. Newly arrived on the estate is Elisha: sweet, bright, sassy and just eighteen. As Elisha negotiates some new territory with more than fair share of dark corners, we take in the vividly interlocking lives of the other Greensiders: cool, ambitious Valerie, with some bad secrets to deal with; Little Stacey, looking for his first girl; Orin, dealing, stealing and trying to stay away from anything too lethal.

Courttia Newland tells gripping stories from real lives - stories of dreamers and fighters, love and revenge, friendship and betrayal - in a language burning with energy, originality and conviction.

Society Within

This is an excellent book. It tells you what really goes on in certain parts of London and reminds me of the estate that i used to live on. You won't want to put this book down until its finished, and when it is, you'll be looking out for other books by this author (Courttia Newland) like myself and so many of my friends have done already.
