Vigilantly avoiding security cameras, he drives until he meets a city where his past is unlikely to track him down. Renting a room from a less-than-stable landlady whose need for money outweighs her desire to ask questions, he seems to have escaped his former self.

Having opted out of his material possessions and human connections, the pillars of his new self—simplicity, kindness, and above all invisibility—grow shakier as he butts up against the daily lives of his neighbours in their politically divided working-class city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSugar Street\u003c\/em\u003e is a risky, engrossing and visceral story about a white man trying to escape his own troubling footprint and start his life over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46715150467308,"sku":"9781472151995","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3657473482712.jpg?v=1754386422","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/sugar-street-by-jonathan-dee-9781472151995","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
