| CAPITAL Part 1 [174 pages!] |
The book follows a small cross-section of the
inhabitants of one south London street, and the people who come to work for
them, over a year, in which the settled citizens interact with the newcomers
who are trying to negotiate a place for themselves in British society. Among
them are a Polish man working as a builder, a well-educated Hungarian woman who
takes a job as a nanny, a Senegalese footballer being groomed for stardom at
great expense, and also Quentina, a hated local traffic warden, who is a political
refugee from Zimbabwe with a university degree, and can support herself only by
paying for a forged work permit. All of them have to be tough, drawing on their
wits, prepared to adapt themselves to what is required, ready to accept and
brush aside humiliation. Their experience of London counterpoints with that of
the luckier inhabitants. (The Observer)
