Description
Lemn Sissay's memoir is a powerful exploration of his childhood, self-expression and Britishness, and the meaning of home. Born into a foster family and later care homes, Sissay's journey is one of neglect and determination, misfortune and hope, cruelty and triumph. With lyricism and honesty, he reflects on his experiences and the institutional care system, race, family and belonging.
