The Feud follows a bitter war that has torn East London’s Canning Town for more than a decade. The Mitchells—an infamous underworld mob—vigorously oppose the travelling O'Haras, who vie with them for control of local pubs. When Stanley Smith’s daughter Jessica announces her intention to marry Eddie Mitchell, the son of mob boss Harry, the fragile peace collapses. Between the two families, innocent children grow up in the crossfire, ultimately discovering a love that will ignite the final, fatal clash of the feud. Set against the backdrop of 1988, a year marked by cultural upheaval, the novel explores the costs of violence, loyalty, and the fragile bonds that hold families together.
