Author Kevin Lewis spent his childhood years in the tough council estates of South East London and the world he lived in there helped kick off his literary career with two autobiographical books: The Kid and The Kid Moves On.
Now he’s moved on to fiction but has used his own childhood memories to add a layer of realism to the dark underworld in this story.
The story is sad at times and often uncomfortably gritty but it’s a good read.
