“Roger is a superb storyteller and his warm, empathic voice shines through each story, as indeed does his thorough attention to getting the facts, and setting the context for each story.
The concept behind this book is inspiring – so many anonymous blocks of flats in London, so much disconnection and, possibly, loneliness. What this book does is bring the whole two blocks of flats to life, vibrant with stories of suffering, hopes, losses and triumphs, courage and endurance, each unique, ordinary or extraordinary, each exquisite in its own unique way.
Can you imagine, if each block of flats in a city had a story teller who took the care to bring the flats to life, to uncover the richness that lies behind the concrete, connecting the lives. One story brought me to tears, another to smiles, each story valuable.
I hope this book finds a big publisher to give it the wide readership it deserves. Roger has created something very original and special in Rennie and River. It’s a joy to read.”
You can buy the book from Amazon:
