Amazon.co.uk: Sweet Thames: Books: Matthew Kneale (1647 words) |
 | Matthew Kneale seemed a relative unknown before his "English Passengers" was short-listed for the Booker Prize and named the Whitbread Book of the Year, but with his recent climb to fame has come acknowledgement of a shining talent that's far from new. |
| Kneale evokes Victorian London in all its complexity, chronicling the political and social issues at stake at the time, as well as bringing to life the city's inhabitants. |
| Mr Kneale paints a pretty picture of London of old, but his characters are often two dimensional and some of his plot twists are contrived and not convincing. |
