Read on the Kindle, after amazon recommendation.
The four main characters in the book have all grown up on the same housing estate in North West London. Some have chosen paths which have taken them away from the estate, and some seem to be living the life with the hand they have been dealt, unwilling or unable to make the change.
My favourite character, and the one drawn most vividly was Natalie. Once known as Keisha, she has pulled herself away from the estate by studying law and marrying well, but she has a secret that will eventually bring her middle class life crashing down.
Told from several different view points, and in several different writing styles this is a much more challenging read than the books I have been reading recently.
