APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Following her excellent debut, The Lido, Libby Page delivers another beautiful and evocative slice-of-life novel. It follows the comings and goings at a café near London’s Liverpool Street station, bringing a cast of richly drawn characters through the doors. Their stories, secrets, hopes and fears are woven together to form a portrait of London life that’s both devastatingly sad and hugely life-affirming. At the centre of the novel are Hannah and Mona, two waitresses whose close friendship begins to fracture as they chase their own ambitions—adding gripping tension to the tale.
