A review by jennamorrison
The One Who Wrote Destiny by Nikesh Shukla

4.0

This is the story of a family who move from Kenya to the UK in the 60s and how their expectations of life in this country are very different to the reality. The book alternates between different members of the family and shows the different attitudes of the different generations throughout the decades.

A large part of the issues they face is based on race, ranging from ignorant comments to agressive attacks and the author does a great job of highlighting what poc have to deal with on a daily basis.

A great story about family, which also raises important issues.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.
