So, the black man, tries to protect himself, he constantly reads situations, looks over his shoulder to keep himself safe, he looks after his family, particularly the constant assaults on the women in his life
I think this book is really great and I would definitely recommend. It’s multi-layered, gripping, well-paced and it made me both laugh and cry. It provides some interesting historical insights and it’s clear there’s been a lot of research and thought put into the structure and themes.
From the first page of this impressive debut novel, I was drawn into the dark world of Kai. A boy from a family ruled by drugs and petty crime that live on a council estate in Somerset.
