Wandering in and about London, the characters of 'On Wandsworth Bridge' often seem larger than life. Never reduced to stereotypes, though, they develop and come alive with a touching humanity and humour that makes the reader care deeply about their actions and fates. At the heart of Hattie Pond's novel is a hero's journey - though that hero has few redeeming features, is wholly unaware of his importance, and ultimately inflicts great harm on those around him. The story's underlying theme builds on C.P. Snow's theory of two cultures - the sciences and the humanities - and explores the dangers of allowing a separation between them.
