By Andrea Levy. A very interesting book, Dad came to England on boarrd the empire Windrush from Jamca via America in 1948. It tells how the family settled into English life. This particular family settled in London.

I can remember the people coming from the West Indies to work in England, and been told "to have nothing to do with them" by my mother. My mum, a "good Methodist" changed her mind when they started attending a nearby Church, filling both the Church and its coffers, making it the richest Church in the Circuit. In later years, she would go to see the Leeds West Indian Carnival, only to be lifted on to the floats by some of her new friends, she continued to do this until well into her late 70s.
