“What is really compelling about this book is that she gets the landscape of London right. She accomplishes beautiful literary writing, that really captures this idea that when you’re on a bicycle, a city is not mediated…She’s not a racer, she’s got a job to do. She’s got deadlines, she’s walking up to office buildings and delivering blueprints and plans.
