I can't say I really enjoyed the story that unfolded here. The characters were interesting enough but I felt I wanted to know more about them, spend more time with them, not just skip from moment to moment. Although, to give the author his deserved credit, he does do a lot with relatively little exposition. 

I did find the setting really interesting. Black Britain pre Windrush is a whole new area of history I've never seen explored before. The similarities in how the black community in London a) came to be there, and b) were then treated, while not surprising, is interesting to read about. And I'm sure if nothing else reading this book will send me down a history rabbit hole for a few weeks.
