Description

Aeon's journey of self-discovery begins with a desire to understand his Black identity. Growing up in a Liverpool suburb, he adopts dreadlocks and immerses himself in 'gangsta' rap, seeking a sense of belonging. However, Aeon soon finds that this path doesn't necessarily lead him to acceptance. His quest for recognition takes him to Jamaica, where he faces challenges and setbacks, including being mugged, arrested, and detained. Despite these obstacles, Aeon's journey is far from over. In fact, it's only just beginning - and he'll have to fight for the respect and recognition he deserves. This electric debut novel blends humour and introspection, offering a unique perspective on growing up, wising up, and finding one's place in a world of opposites.
