Representaion Supposing Books Mother London (London Novels #1)

Three hospital outpatients all find that they hear voices - the voices of London's past. As they explore the city of their present day, they also explore its recent past and its forgotten people. Through the lives of those on the fringe of society, we learn what it is like - and what it has always been like - to live in the great, sprawling, polyphonic, multicoloured capital.

Critique Out Of Books Mother London (London Novels #1)

Slightly mixed feelings... love the prose. Feel like I could read it forever... as I did when I read King of the City.But King of the City had a very good plot, this was slightly lacking in plot... definitely had an amazing narrative drive. However, the non-linear narrative, whilst ultimately rewarding, did take a long while to pull one in, as the characters themselves aren't as compelling, its what happens (or happened) to them that makes them so, and in some cases we didn't find out what that

Not the usual Moorcock fare so don't be expecting Elric or the like. Good novel which would be of interest to those who live in London or know it well. The story follows a cast of a few main characters over along period of the twentieth century but it jumps back and forward in time and from charcter to character which put me off a bit. Still a solid read and 3 ***

This book was fitfully amusing. I gave up on it around page 194. It was a little too disjointed, dealing with the same characters but jumping back and forth between different years, from the 1940s to the 1980s. I would read one chapter and get into it and enjoy it and then have to totally readjust for the next chapter. There was a strong sense of nostalgia for a past London, and the whole book is really a love letter to London. Since I'm not that interested in London, that left only the story

One of my favorite books.

Wonderful. Want to read this again one day as there is so much wonderful detail and description.

At first I was waiting for a plotline that never came. As the book unfolded I began to realise that I was submerged within a collage of London's social history, a collage crafted by a writer who quite obciously knows the place intimitely. We follow, in short episodes, a small band of characters, jumping between the decades at random as we watch their lives intersect against the shifting tapestry of a city at first wounded, and then scarred but resurgent. This focus on character is one of the

I think I was expecting more, certainly something different. This isnt' sci-fi or fantasy, it's more a paean to London, which didn't move me as much as it might other readers. Some nicely written passages, but overall I doubt I'd read again.
