نبذة الناشر:1970s London: Young Michael runs past the railway
arches and terraces of Vauxhall. Reaching the street
on which he lives, he witnesses a young girl fall from a
window, her sari floating down behind her. Her lifeless
body lies crumpled on the ground.
This incident marks the beginning of a period in which
Michael’s life threatens ...to unravel. From his sister’s taunts
to a series of house fires, police harassment, his parents’

hopeful story of a young boy and the city that surrounds
him. إقرأ المزيد
