A Lark Ascending
A riveting tale of a young man coming to terms with his past and battling bullies on several levels, both street gangs and corrupt political factions. Author, John Campbell takes us to the streets of London - ravished by one war and still off kilter - the dark side of life on the wharf and on the streets as well as the rich life in the parlors as people try to make sense out of daily life. Malcolm, the protagonist is a a compelling character and I found I was holding my breath and cheering for him as he takes on the biggest of bullies in an attempt to save the Chinese workers from danger. Well paced, brilliant prose, believable characters. It kept me up until the very end.
