While I liked this book, I didn't find it a compelling read. I never seemed to invest in the characters. Interesting topic and setting - England during and post-WWII. Jamaican immigrants living in war torn London at the close of the war - many of them former RAF themselves - face discrimination and hardships. Again, it's a relatively good book, but not one I had a hard time putting down.
