Overview:
City of the Mind : Matthew Halland is an architect, intimately involved with the new face of London, while haunted by earlier times of destruction and loss in its history. Although he is divorced and lonely, Matthew has a rich and moving relationship with his daughter, Jane, who offers a fresh perspective on love, loss, and even the city. Matthew becomes entangled with an array of fascinating characters, from Rutter, a corrupt real estate developer whose mafia-like ways disgust him, to Sarah, a romantic ray of hope who enters his life. In City of the Mind, Penelope Lively has created a wonderfully rich and audacious reflection on the mystery of London.
