Book
Pigeon English / Stephen Kelman.
"Newly arrived from Ghana with his mother and older sister, 11-year-old Harrison Opoku lives on the ninth floor of a block of flats on a London housing estate. Harri absorbs the many strange elements of his new life in England: watching, listening, and learning the tricks of inner-city survival. But when a boy is knifed to death on the high street and a police appeal for witnesses draws only silence, Harri decides to start a murder investigation of his own. In doing so, he unwittingly endangers his family. Deeply funny, moving, idiosyncratic and unforgettable, PIGEON ENGLISH introduces a new literary talent from England. A debut novel."--Publisher.
