SOCIETY WITHIN takes us back to the Greenside Estate, West London, scene of Courttia Newland’s ground-breaking and hugely successful first novel, THE SCHOLAR. Newly arrived on the estate is Elisha: sweet, bright, sassy and just eighteen. As Elisha negotiates some new territory with more than fair share of dark corners, we take in the vividly interlocking lives of the other Greensiders: cool, ambitious Valerie, with some bad secrets to deal with; Little Stacey, looking for his first girl; Orin, dealing, stealing and trying to stay away from anything too lethal.Courttia Newland tells gripping stories from real lives – stories of dreamers and fighters, love and revenge, friendship and betrayal – in a language burning with energy, originality and conviction.]]>
