Strong debut that takes place during the WTO riots in Seattle in 1999. Follows the point of view of 6 people there: 3 police and 3 protesters.

What belongs to you, Gareth Greenwell
A stunning debut novel by Greenwell, released January 2016. A story of love, gay culture, desire, outcomes. A book that holds the readers attention not through plot twists and turns but through powerful and beautiful language.
