Description

A powerful and moving story about racial inequality in post-war Britain. In 1945, Rick Braithwaite, a highly educated ex-RAF pilot, faces deep-seated prejudice when he searches for work due to his black skin. Desperate to find employment, Braithwaite turns to teaching, taking a job at an East End school where he must navigate a challenging class of teenagers with little guidance or experience. As Braithwaite attempts to instil discipline and overcome prejudice, he faces numerous obstacles. This thought-provoking novel explores the struggles of racial equality in Britain during a pivotal moment in history. With its moving and inspiring portrayal of one man's journey, this book is a powerful exploration of the human spirit.
