- You enjoy narrative non-fiction travel writing
- You are nostalgic for stories of life in the UK, pre-Brexit
- You want to know more about the UK immigrant experience during the early Cameron years
- You are interested in stories from Rhodesia-Zimbabwe and South Africa
- You enjoy reading about families bridging connections across time and continents and the process of confronting past traumas and conflicts
After living through the dramatic collapse of the Zimbabwean economy under the rule of Robert Mugabe, Leo decides to move back to the UK in late 2009. With a keen eye for detail, he surveys contemporary Britain and takes note of her culture, landscape and idiosyncrasies. With a dash of humour throughout, he recounts a multitude of characters, snippets of conversation and pointed insight.
Circumstance draws him to his estranged uncle's abode in the coastal city of Plymouth where the past and present collide unexpectedly. Two chapters recount his experience of returning to Southern Africa, firstly to the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and later in the book, to Harare, Zimbabwe, where he grew up.
