Description

Thirty years on from its initial publication, Coming to England remains a powerful and inspiring true story. In 1960, Floella Benjamin and her family made the journey from Trinidad to London, part of a generation of West Indians encouraged to help rebuild Britain after the Second World War.

Reunited with her mother, Floella was initially overwhelmed by her new life in London. However, she soon realized that the only way to survive was to work twice as hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This remarkable story of courage and determination is beautifully illustrated throughout by Joelle Avelino.

With a foreword by the author, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the Windrush generation and their experiences in Britain. It is suitable for readers aged 9+.
