The East End Voices Behind London Gin
Voice in London Gin came from rhythm more than slang.
I cared most about timing, warmth, and edge, because those are what make speech feel lived in.
I listened for how neighbors tease each other while still signaling loyalty under pressure. That friendly roughness became one of the book's joys for me. When voice is right, readers trust the world quickly.
They stop translating and start belonging.
