Such a beautiful book, manages to be both critical and hopeful.
For anyone wanting to learn more about the British empire and the effect its had on the country and the rest of the world, look no further.
A wonderful character study and an informative piece of historical fiction - levy balances the humour of being human with the seriousness of being a black human in an unwelcoming environment.
A book which helps us understand ourselves better and learn from past mistakes.

Content Warnings
Minor: Racial slurs and Racism
Use of old fashioned slurs, fitting with the time period the book is setting but definitely not the most comfortable reading
