The Lonely Londoners

The book masterfully balances moments of camaraderie with deep loneliness. Did anyone feel it reflected real immigrant struggles or was it more stylized?

The narrative style brings authenticity and intimacy. I wonder what motivated the choice to use this perspective instead of a more traditional narrative.

The use of dialect and multiple perspectives adds richness but also made me work a bit harder as a reader. Was this intentional to mirror the characters' experiences?
