Description
This memoir is a powerful exploration of identity, culture and desire, shaped by the author's childhood impressions of her parents. Born in London to a Welsh mother and Guyanese father, Isabel Adonis draws on her experiences growing up in London, Sudan and Wales to examine the nature of self and belonging.
Through its lyrical prose and multi-layered narrative, this book probes the impact of colonialism on social culture and the complexities of being 'mixed'. A deeply personal story that also speaks to universal themes, it is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the cultural diversity of Wales and beyond.
