On Romford Road, Andrew Sanger's fifth novel, follows the intertwined destinies of two tough-minded East London families as they climb from poverty to prosperity. One chooses the path of crime and corruption, the other toil and education. The effects of a single angry night in 1915 will last for the rest of the century. It becomes a blood feud between them, then a vendetta, eventually an uneasy pact. But fate has bound the adversaries together and will never free them.
