“We must all save a space in our hearts for forgiveness.”
What a beautiful book for young people to read; Zephaniah writes some of the most thought-provoking books for young people and this does not disappoint. The novel covers themes including: domestic violence, mental health, gang culture, crime, and most importantly, hope, forgiveness and overcoming adversity. A wonderful narration on the power of forgiveness and the dangers of taking the media at face value.
