      About This Book

      Talks about the narrator, who is twelve when he leaves his village in Guyana to come to England, where he is abandoned by his father into social care, but later wins a scholarship to Oxford. Featuring the narrator's Guyanese childhood and youth in working-class Balham, this novel explores the cost to his personality of losing that past.
