Summary "London's Heart" by B. L. Farjeon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the melancholic and mysterious streets of Soho, London, presenting a vivid tapestry of life among its diverse residents. It revolves around several characters, primarily focusing on the elderly craftsman known as Mr. Wheels, his ailing daughter Lily, and Mr. Podmore, a weary pointsman, among others, as they navigate their struggles and intertwined lives in this vibrant yet daunting urban landscape. The opening of the novel establishes the setting in Soho, where a sense of sadness and anonymity pervades the lives of its inhabitants. Mr. Wheels, an old man dedicated to caring for his sick daughter, is introduced as he meticulously crafts wheels for her workbox. We also meet Mr. Podmore, who, exhausted after a long day of labor, returns home to his daughter Pollypod, revealing the hardships faced by working-class families. The narrative conveys a realistic portrayal of the struggles, relationships, and small moments of kindness in this bustling and often harsh city environment, setting the stage for the unfolding tales of its complex characters.
