This is a personal, insightful and entertaining recollection of the author's adventures and nomadic life in the UK.

******This edition has been updated with information on the major characters featured in this book: Uncle Paul, Sam and Georgia, Francis, Ian, Niez etc. Find out what they're doing - or not doing - in post-Brexit UK.******

You will be interested in this book if:

  • You enjoy narrative non-fiction writing
  • You are nostalgic for stories of life in the UK, pre-Brexit
  • You want to know more about the UK immigrant experience during the early Cameron years
  • You are interested in stories from Rhodesia-Zimbabwe and South Africa
  • You enjoy reading about families bridging connections across time and continents and the process of confronting past traumas and conflicts

  • After living through the dramatic collapse of the Zimbabwean economy under the rule of Robert Mugabe, Leo decides to move back to the UK in late 2009.
    With a keen eye for detail, he surveys contemporary Britain and takes note of her culture, landscape and idiosyncrasies. With a dash of humour throughout, he recounts a multitude of characters, snippets of conversation and pointed insight.
    Circumstance draws him to his estranged uncle's abode in the coastal city of Plymouth where the past and present collide unexpectedly.
    Two chapters recount his experience of returning to Southern Africa, firstly to the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and later in the book, to Harare, Zimbabwe, where he grew up.

    I came across your blog a few months back... when I saw that you had published a book too, I bought that and again really enjoyed your writing. So I really just wanted to say thanks for your hard work, I enjoyed both your blog and your book immensely!
