A very visceral and searing short coming of age story in which racism and police brutality feature heavily.
It’s also the story of the deep bond between two brothers and the profound grief of a family and if a mother who had big dreams for her sons. Unfortunately, the realities of being an immigrant family, with a different skin colour, and being male mean that you are guilty until proven innocent and are subject to many prejudices that others never have to face.
An excellent piece of Canlit.
