About this ebook
Wapping Portraits follows Kieran, a young night-shift carer in east London, who takes on the watch of an enigmatic eighty-four-year-old woman, Nell. As he navigates the awkward routines of caring—tea rituals, bruised pride, and reluctant conversation—Kieran gradually uncovers a surprising private world of art, memories and complicated friendships. Tender, often wry, and quietly observant, the novel traces how unexpected bonds form across generations and how hidden pasts can upend lives. With warmth and an eye for small domestic details, the book explores class, loneliness, and the strange economy of care set against a changing London, building toward revelations that reshape Kieran’s future.
