Description

Step into a world where reality and fiction collide in The Great When. This first installment of the genre-busting Long London series by Bloomsbury takes you to 1949 London, a city still recovering from the war. Follow Dennis, a second-hand bookseller whose life is transformed when he discovers a novel that should not exist. This impossible book leads Dennis into The Great When, a magical shadow-London where the boundaries of existence are blurred. In this strange realm, abstract concepts like Poetry, Riot, and Crime are not just ideas, but mystical beings that roam the streets. If you enjoy stories that blend historical settings with high fantasy and surreal elements, this novel offers a unique journey through a city that is alive and unpredictable. Experience a tale where a simple discovery turns into a struggle for survival in a landscape where the very concepts of humanity take physical form.
