Poet Jason Allen-Paisant explores the link between Jamaican and British histories through travels with his mother, in this Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing shortlisted title.
A collection of essays interspersed with verse, the lyrical prose reflects on grief, identity, race, class, and reconnecting with the land via visits to his grandmother’s grung, the Jamaica Archives and Records Department and Roundhay Park. A captivating read that takes you on the journey.
