London Belongs to Me, by Norman Collins (1945)
Could this be the great novel for the coronavirus crisis? Collins's wartime soap-opera-as-novel is a tale of disrupted home life, challenging circumstances, and continuation under pressure. It has its bleak moments, but Collins's light tone and loveable characters make for a pacy, uplifting read. I'd particularly recommend it for those who know the Kennington area, where it's largely set. Matt Brown
