Love the new review of my #EastLondon novel ON ROMFORD ROAD: "Warm, witty, sharply observed. Pulls you in from the first page. Rich local history. Everyday moments sit alongside the tension of the criminal family at the heart of the plot."

London fiction: Mission accomplished Some were enormous novels, some were short stories and they all shed their own light on the city, its people and its changing times

On Romford Road | by Andrew Sanger On Romford Road, Andrew Sanger's fifth novel, follows the intertwined destinies of two tough-minded East London families as they climb from poverty to prosperity. One chooses the path of crime and corruption, the other toil and education. The effects of a single angry night in 1915 will last for the rest of the century. It becomes a blood feud between them, then a vendetta, eventually an uneasy pact. But fate has bound the adversaries together and will never free them.

Four women. Two #EastLondon families. One hundred years of fear, vengeance, vicious rivalry - and love.

My fifth novel, ON ROMFORD ROAD, will be published Jan 6 on Kindle and Jan 17 in paperback. Available now for pre-order.
