Catch Women’s Prize-longlisted Luan Goldie, author of the brilliant new novel These Streets, on Scala Radio’s ‘The Book Club’ this Thursday 30th June at 10.30am.

Luan will be discussing her latest striking novel, These Streets, in an interview with presenter Mark Forrest. Tune in here.

Newham has an Olympic stadium, its own airport, and a direct train to Paris. But the borough also has one of the highest rates of homelessness in England.

Jessica lives in the borough with her two teenage children, Hazel and Jacob, but a catastrophic string of bad luck costs her her job and home within a few days.

But in the darkness there is hope; her estranged brother returns and she meets the man of her dreams. Can she turn things around and save her family?

These Streets is out now. Grab your copy here or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org.
