About this title

Synopsis

In 1948, the first set of Caribbean nationals arrived in Great Britain on a ship called "Empire Windrush". They struggled to find housing. They worked as labourers. They faced open discrimination, forcing them to quickly form their own community. Decades later, Freddy makes the same journey.

Does he find a place to live? Does he face stereotypes? Has Britain moved forward?

In a road trip, which includes Sheffield, Birmingham and Cambridge, Freddy discovers the true British society.

Read Freddy's story and find out what he experiences in London, 70 years on from 1948, in this entertaining and compelling tale.

"A fascinating story portrayed with style and confidence" - Cara Armstrong, hhb Agency 2017.
