Hello Mum by Bernardine Evaristo

jojosbookshelf's review against another edition

3.0

Evaristo has sketched out, not drawn a portrait of a 14 year old boy in a world that judges him for the colour of his skin. A pacy and near thrilling stab of teenage rage and repressed anxiety that needed more fleshing out and colour blocking.
