Description
Something Dark tells the true story of Lemn Sissay's journey from being given up as a baby to discovering his Ethiopian heritage and finding his voice as a performance poet.
Born into care, Lemn was renamed and nicknamed Chalky White, but it wasn't until he was 18 that he learned his real name. He left the turbulent suburbs of Lancashire for Manchester, where he became a celebrated performer, before embarking on a journey to find his mother and the truth about his father in Gambia.
This powerful memoir is a story of identity, belonging, and self-discovery, as Lemn Sissay navigates the complexities of his past and finds his place in the world.
