British – Caribbean Author Releases New Book On Life In The UK
A British -St Lucian author has written a new book about life in the UK. Winston Payne is the author of ‘Britain on the Ropes’
The writer who comes from Soufriere offers an insight into the life of a West Indian immigrant who found himself on the shores of the British Isles after being sent from St. Lucia in the early 1960’s.
He recalls those early days of work, racism and his love of boxing. Winston gives a balanced view not only of his life in the early days but the hard years which followed, all the way through to the present.
For more than 5 decades he’s seen Britain change, bend, and buckle under social and economic times. Giving a fresh, balanced and many would say, truthful description of how Britain is coping with social injustice and the political landscape both in the UK and Europe.
Like his father, who he left back in St. Lucia, he too had a rosy coloured view of the country, but what he found on his arrival was very different. He shares with you his experiences through the years, how his love for his new home begins to grow and how his experiences in education, gave him another perspective and how the countries current leap into opening the door to eastern European migrants has started to change the look and feel of Britain. For the good? Reading what this book has to say will reveal a surprising answer.
When you’ve finished reading this honest account from someone, who was once looking from the outside in, and then being that person on the inside, you’ll get a sense of how Britain is today and a true insight of the different facets of British life.
If you’re a reader, who enjoys reading a balance and honest account, who enjoys reliving a journey from a perspective of someone who had one point of view, and then realised that it was very different than originally thought, then this book is for you.
