Mother Country: Real Stories of the Windrush Children by Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff
4.0
This was a remarkable book. Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, while injecting his own personality into the introduction, wisely takes a step back letting the accounts of Windrush families from all walks of life do the talking. Some of their stories are moving, anger-inducing, heartbreaking, and inspiring. There were a number of accounts in this book that left me in awe of what so many individuals put themselves through to try to make a home in the UK under less than welcoming conditions.
Makes the Windrush Scandal seem even more horrific if it were possible.
Highly recommended.
This was an ARC in exchange for an honest review. With thanks to Netgalley and Headline.
