The Kings Head

**A fierce story of friendship and competition set among London's forgotten girl gangs**
London, 1957. A gang of girls known as the Kings rule the bomb-scarred streets of Finsbury Park.
When Harry, their charismatic and unpredictable leader, attempts to encroach on the territory of the rival Seven Sisters gang, the Kings know they are heading for a fight.
Armed with flick knives and fists, they clash in dance halls and on soccer fields, battling for respect, territory, and survival. But with the authorities closing in and conscripted young men returning to reclaim what was once theirs, the Kings face difficult choices about loyalty, identity, and belonging.
Bound by fierce friendship and driven by ruthless competition, these young women will do whatever it takes to carve out a place for themselves in a city that offers them little.
A powerful and atmospheric novel about loyalty, ambition, and the fight to be seen in postwar London.
