The Orange-Yellow Diamond

Více o knize

Set in 1920s London, this murder mystery features a lower-class Jewish amateur detective as the unlikely hero amid a diverse yet problematic portrayal of immigrants. The narrative highlights a vibrant city filled with various ethnic communities, juxtaposed against a backdrop of poverty and social struggle. While the book's representation of diversity is notable, it is marred by offensive stereotypes. The contrasting settings of mean streets and grand architecture reflect the socio-economic disparities of the time, painting a complex picture of urban life.
