A moving and poetic memoir about growing up without a father and a vivid portrait of the seventies from award-winning author and poet Salena Godden
This is the story of a home. A story rooted in love. The story of a poet born of an Irish jazz musician and a Jamaican go-go dancer, an absent father and a resilient mother.
In
Springfield Road
, Salena Godden evokes an era when oranges seemed bigger and summers were longer, a world of half-penny sweets, free school milk, hand-me-downs and Thatcher's Britain, for those too young to remember and for those old enough to know. For Salena, it was a time for learning that life can be brutal with first betrayals and first losses, but also that there are endless riches to be found in the world.
In equal parts powerful, tender and fearless,
shows us where, in a world full of shadows, the light is to be found.
