Voices #5: Windrush Child

Beautifully written. As my father was a Windrush child, from St Lucia, this was so wonderful to read. I'm not very far in yet, so I'm not able to comment on the racism and vile language used in this book, but I know from personal experience just what to expect. I've read the sample pages and they had me hanging on to every word. I could easily imagine the sunshine, the warmth and scent of the rain, the scents of the fruits, the fear of hurricanes and my worry for Leonard's shack during those extreme weather conditions. I'm disgusted by how little regard there was for Caribbean WW2 soldiers who assisted the British army. Those who left their families thousands of miles away to fight overseas, to experience things that no humans should ever have to, to die horrific deaths, and not even be mentioned or remembered by those that they assisted. In unmarked graves with no way of finding and bringing them home. My heart and prayers go out to all those affected. You shall not be forgotten.

I need all the pages which means I mean the whole book thank you for this great book it is really wonderful book and anyone would want it because this book is just fantastic and it has a message in it which contains really really good stuff we like these and everyone would this book because this book is the fantastic one of us did it I felt something because it was just good and even those pages those more pages I just read the taught me something for I read the whole book now page 157 is to be good so I just want to say good job to the right of this book so I just wish more books come and everyone or everyone who read this book it would inspired and taught and just love this book for what it teaches and not for what it is about oh yeah what it is about but we we have to teach our children how to stand up themselves and tell someone if you need to help and as our parents we kids cares we have to protect our kids in such situations we don't have to watch all kids leave a life that tells them that you should not stand up for yourself and she just leave your love of rubbish that's what we love me thank you if you're reading this because that's what we should do find posts about children's lifestyle thank you
