Midland by Gareth Gavin
Midland tells the story of three women as they fight to find their feet amid the rubble of the twentieth century. From the bombsites of the 1940s to the construction sites of the 1960s and decaying tower blocks of the 1980s, Honor Gavin has created an ingenious narrative of one Midlands family that's also a startling, anarchic history of a city.
