Peterdown by David Annand
Peterdown is an industrial town with a rich history but a struggling present. It has been selected as the site for a new high-speed train network, promising economic revival. However, the construction requires demolishing a local landmark. The town is divided between saving the Larkspur housing estate, a modernist architectural gem, and the Chapel, the cherished home of the local football team. Colin, a sports reporter, and his architect partner Ellie find themselves on opposing sides of this heated debate. As tensions rise, the town becomes a stage for personal conflicts, hidden agendas, and a burgeoning grassroots movement. The novel paints a vivid picture of a community grappling with change, filled with colorful characters and unexpected twists.
