Go Home Birdie Brown

£21 · Offered by Goldsboro Books

Birdie has come too far to go quietly … A powerful and emotional novel inspired by the Windrush Scandal. This is a story about being told you don’t belong. This is a story about knowing you do. This is a story about Birdie. Birdie Brown’s life is held together by family ― her sharp-witted daughter Carmen, her son Scott who no one mentions, and five grandkids who keep her on her toes. Retirement is bingo nights, babysitting, and TV with her granddaughter Saffie ― until a letter from the Home Office arrives. It says she’s here illegally. That she must return to Jamaica ― a country she hasn’t seen since childhood. As the system threatens to erase her, Birdie must confront buried truths and fractured ties. Can she hold on to the life she built ― and the family that built her? 'A self-assured debut …A wonderful story of family, community, and the importance of recognising people instead of categories.' Louise Hare author of This Lovely City
