Description

Set against the vibrant backdrop of urban England, Skinheads is a powerful exploration of family, loyalty and the complexities of identity.

The story follows three generations of a family, each with their own unique struggles and triumphs. From Terry English, a former ska-loving skinhead who finds new purpose in life, to his nephew Lol, a teenager navigating the challenges of growing up, this is a tale that delves into the heart of British culture.

As the characters' paths intersect and diverge, their experiences are shaped by the music, fashion and politics of the era. With its richly drawn characters and nuanced portrayal of a way of life, Skinheads is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that will resonate with anyone interested in the complexities of family, community and identity.
