Londoners

By Richard Bourne

0 - Default Title
Description
London is about people - humorous and neighbourly, ambitious and lonely, old and young. People with glamorous lifestyles. People sometimes battling against enormous odds in their own daily existence. Ordinary, unsaintly people, as well as people whose decisions may affect millions. The author gets behind the stock images of Pearly Queens and commuters in pin-striped suits to enable some of those who now work or live in one of the world's great capitals to give their own views on what it is really like to be a Londoner - and so often a Londoner by adoption not birth. Do its inhabitants love or hate their city? What changes have they seen? What are their hopes and fears for the future? In 65 interviews with an amazing variety of people, Richard Bourne reveals the diversity of private worlds which occupy the inhabitants of London. Affectionate, compulsive, sometimes disturbing, this selection of personal experience gives a human portrait of a modern capital which no guidebook or TV documentary can approach.
