Hello Mum by Bernardine Evaristo
4.0
A teenage boy is stabbed and left bleeding on the street — and nobody knows why. His mum can’t understand why this happened, she wants to know how he ended up there — but does she really want to hear the answers?
A gripping, gritty and moving story about crime and the ripple effect it has across people and lives. A personal, conversational read that talks right to us, not a lot happening but letting us into a life cut short by being the wrong person at the wrong time in a world of gangs, crime and neglect. It's a tiny book, but it's high impact and full of emotion.
