“Some reviewers rate this highly, I’m not quite with them. That said JLB is never a bad read.
We follow the life of a young Texan soldier who after rescuing a beautiful Jewish woman during WW2, becomes a successful business man. But his success brings trouble from powerful men.
Yes go on and read it!

“A recommendation by David Mitchell personally to me (at a great event to discuss Slade House)
This is a modern classic, written in the 1950’s when many West Indian men and women known as the Windrush Generation came to London to start a new life. Not a plot driven novel, and a little depressing, but important view of social history.
I can’t say I enjoyed it much. 4/10
