    "description": "<p><strong>'A vivid portrayal of a London rarely seen in literature' Paula Hawkins</strong><br /><br /><strong>'A novel that doesn't flinch, and demands change right now' Ali Smith, <em>Guardian</em> Books of the Summer</strong><br /><strong>'This debut glitters' <em>Evening Standard</em></strong><br /><strong>*Shortlisted for the 2018 Gordon Burn Prize*</strong><br /><br />For Selvon, Ardan and Yusuf, growing up under the towers of Stones Estate, summer means what it does anywhere: football, music, freedom. But now, after the killing of a British soldier, riots are spreading across the city, and nowhere is safe. <br /><br />While the fury swirls around them, Selvon and Ardan remain focused on their own obsessions, girls and grime. Their friend Yusuf is caught up in a different tide, a wave of radicalism surging through his local mosque, threatening to carry his troubled brother, Irfan, with it.<br /><br />Provocative, raw, poetic yet tender, IN OUR MAD AND FURIOUS CITY marks the arrival of a major new talent in fiction.</p>",
