- Summary:
- The author invites you into the private lives of the residents of a quiet urban street in England over the course of a single day. You witness the hopes, fears, and unspoken despairs of a diverse community. The tranquility of the street is shattered at day's end when a terrible accident occurs. This tragedy and a surprising twist provide the momentum for the book, but it is the author's rendering of the ordinary, the everyday, that gives this novel its sense of beauty, wonder, and hope.
