In Our Mad And Furious City by Guy Gunaratne
A propulsive, multi-voiced portrait of a North London estate over two fraught days after a soldier’s murder, it follows three teenage friends as far-right agitators and would‑be Islamist recruiters test their loyalties, while two older immigrants reflect on earlier battles with racism and belonging. As protests and reprisals converge on their mosque and streets, the boys pursue football and grime-fueled dreams, confront gang pressures and grief, and reckon with the costs of violence, identity, and fragile community.
