Jubilee

Good page turner as you want to know what happens, which is revealed to you slowly. A good concept for a book, that a photo is just a snap shot of a fraction of a moment and does not truly tell what is going on and what happens before and after the moment and therefore does not tell a fraction of the story let a lone the whole story. If you like books with big revealing endings, this is not it but if you like stories which make you think about society, how people become the people they are and what influences tehir life choics then this will do that.There were times when I was frustrated with the lead character but time reveals why he behaves the way he does.

Brilliant story, snapshot of 70s suburban life, subtly tackles the journey of first generation Brits...interesting how whites are ex-pats, minorities immigrants.Shelley Harris conjures up images that are universally familiar, excellent plot with twists and turns upto the last word.Got this as I'd loved Vigilante, will continue to follow this excellent author.

Good condition and great read

Not a very enjoyable book. Not keen on the characters. It recalls the era quite well but I don’t think story & the people were believable.

Throughly enjoyed reading this book, made you think about racism and the effects a comment can have upon another person for years to come.

A real nostalgia read for me. Great structure and pace to it and its packed with REAL people. Best quote: 'That's the joy of history: its clear, backward glance.'

Clever, easy to read, I enjoyed this book. I would recommend it, as would most of my friends who had already read it before me.

What seems to be a flash of a moment in time expands across the decades. A great real slice of life with depths and twists.
