A hard book to read given the recent Windrush scandals. The characters are extremely well written. I really didn’t want to keep reading it as it was really difficult to read the struggles of this lovely young man. I found the language difficult even paying lipservice to the point that it was used during this time.

Sorry but the language in this book it's horrid to use the n word is just wrong ok so the book was set back in the 1940s but you could of found a different word to use that n word is evil and cruel it's 2019. Just goes somehow people think they can get away with anything as long a as its in a book.
I will never buy this book in a million years
