Jamaica Street — Sally Worboyes

Errol Turner, a handsome and determined young man from Jamaica, has found the woman of his dreams in the East End of London. Errol's only assets on arrival at Southampton in the summer of 1955 were his father's old sewing machine, a few pounds in his pocket, and a touching faith in the greatness of Britain. Four years later, in love with the charismatic Rita, he is making his mark as a tailor. But in the aftermath of the race riots, racial hatred still simmers throughout London, endangering all their hopes.
