However, here I can say that These Streets is a fabulous insight into the ‘what ifs’ of life that I thought was touching, realistic and brilliant.ĭo visit My Weekly to read my full review here. My full review of These Streets can be found on the My Weekly website here. Beautiful and honest, it is an essential story about living in Britain today. Set on the streets of East London, These Streets is a searing and powerful novel that explores how we are meant to find our place in a world that is designed for only the privileged to succeed. Jess knows she’s the only one who can keep her family together, but how can she keep going when life keeps beating her back? Her daughter Hazel is becoming more and more distant, her son Jacob is struggling to find where he fits in the world, and the menacing spectre of Jess’s older brother, someone she cut out of her life years ago, begins to make his presence felt again. As Jess struggles to regain her footing, cracks begin to appear in other areas of her life, and suddenly she feels she’s failing at everything. But when her landlord asks her to move on, so he can sell the house they’re living in without warning, Jess’s worries take on a whole new meaning. Jess is a single mother to two teenage children, and although life can be tough she’s just about keeping things together. Published by Harper Collins imprint HQ on 23rd June 2022, These Streets is available for purchase through the links here. I’m thrilled that These Streets by Luan Goldie is my latest online My Weekly magazine review.
