THEY FOUND EACH OTHER. NOW THEY MUST RESCUE WHAT THEY LEFT BEHIND. The
highly-anticipated sequel to the queer genre-bending dystopian romance
All That's Left in the World.
Against the backdrop of a ravaged world, Andrew and Jamie have settled
in a new community, more in love than ever. Finally they've reached
safety and have each taken on roles and responsibilities in this new
life. But it's soon clear they want different things:
Jamie is ready to move on and take to the road, just the two of them.
Andrew wants to remain in the safety of numbers.
With a storm brewing up the coast they have no choice to head back into
the wilderness where old enemies roam and they don't know who to trust.
Can they find their way back to safety and each other?
The 25th anniversary edition of Baroness Floella Benjamin's classic
memoir, Coming to England. With a foreword by the author and some
additional historical information, this is the incredible story of
Floella's journey from Trinidad to London, as part of the Windrush
generation, to the House of Lords. It is gloriously illustrated
throughout by Joelle Avelino, perfect for readers aged 9+. Floella
Benjamin was just a young girl when she, her sister and two
brothers arrived in England in 1960 to join their parents, whom
they had not seen for fifteen months. They had left their island
home of Trinidad to make a new life in London - part of a whole
generation of West Indians who were encouraged to move to Britain
and help rebuild the country after the Second World War. Reunited
with her mother, Floella was too overwhelmed at first to care about
the cold weather and the noise and dirt from the traffic. But, as
her new life began, she was shocked and distressed by the rejection
she experienced. She soon realized that the only way to survive was
to work twice as hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This
inspirational story is a powerful reminder of how courage and
determination can overcome adversity.
