THE GREAT WEST WOOD is a magic realist thriller set in the South London suburb of Westwood. A vibrant urban village set upon a hilltop, looking out across London, in an area once covered by an ancient forest. This is a place where magic is taken for granted; where trees can talk; and children can float; and where a long-dead peat body can be resurrected to become a much-feared crime boss. This is a strange, wonderful, original and exhilarating fantasy novel with vivid, compelling characters, leavened with wit and humour.
