Synopsis
London Road
$14.99 Published by Nick Hern Books
In late 2006 the everyday life of the quiet rural town of Ipswich was shattered by the discovery of the bodies of five women
The residents of London Road had struggled for years with the soliciting and kerb-crawling that they frequently encountered
As Steve Wright, the occupant of No. 79, was arrested, charged and then convicted of the murders, the immediate community grappled with the media frenzy and what it meant to be at the epicentre of this tragedy
London Road is an experimental and challenging work which reveals the ways in which even the darkest experiences can engender a greater sense of our mutual dependence
" ... an astonishing document about a beleaguered yet resilient community ... a startling, magically original success" ~ Evening Standard
