Industry Reviews

The reissue of Mother London begs a simple question: why was it ever out of print? This astonishing novel moves back and forth between the Blitz and the boom time of the 1980s, effortlessly weaving a tale which encompasses the life force of post-war London as it evolved through the changing inhabitants and landscape of the city. We see and hear London through the lives of three protagonists and their associates giving voice to the multifarious creeds and cultures which have come to populate the city. Moorcock beautiflly rewrites the story of London at war and post-war, capturing the essence of the people and the Blitz spirit which helped the city survive so gallantly into a new century. And like the city itself, this is a book which inspires repeated visits. Out of print? Surely never again. (Kirkus UK)
