The Unbelonging

By Joan Riley

Book Overview

"Summoned to Britain by a father she has never known, eleven-year-old Hyacinth finds that she has exchanged the warmth and exuberance of the backstreets of Kingston, Jamaica, for the gloom of British inner-city life, finding herself in a land of strangers with hers the only black face in a sea of white. But Hyacinth is not a victim as, through academic achievement and dreams of her homeland, she survives and triumphs against the hostility of her classmates and threatened violence at home from her father, sustained forever by the sure knowledge that her dreams hold the truth." --Cover page 4.
