Portobello Novel
Regarded as crime fiction’s reigning queen, Ruth Rendell has had a remarkable career spanning over forty years. In her novel Portobello, she presents a captivating and intricate tale that intertwines the troubled lives of several individuals in the gentrified neighborhood of London’s Notting Hill.
Fifty-year-old Eugene Wren stumbles upon an envelope filled with cash while walking to the shops one day. Plagued by a shameful addiction and driven by good intentions, Wren devises a plan to locate the money’s rightful owner. Rather than involving the authorities or keeping the cash for himself, he opts to print a notice and distribute it around Portobello Road. This impulsive decision sets off a series of events that connect Wren to other residents of London—individuals grappling with their own fixations and despair. These volatile characters enter Wren’s world, impacting both him and his trusting fiancée in unexpected ways with far-reaching consequences.
Portobello is a masterful and intricately woven narrative, offering a dazzling portrayal of one of London’s most fascinating neighborhoods while delving into the hidden dangers lurking beneath its newly refined exterior.
