Mother London by Michael Moorcock

Mother London is a 1988 novel by Michael Moorcock that follows three mental hospital outpatients—Josef Kiss, David Mummery, and Mary Gasalee—as they experience the history of London from the Blitz to the 1980s through fragmented, non-chronological episodes. The novel is a blend of magical realism and social commentary, exploring themes of mental health, memory, and the city's identity through the characters' sensory delusions and their ability to hear the "voices" of London's past. It was shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize
