Guardian Bookshop Notes:
The beguiling memoir of a Muslim boy born in Pakistan, who moved to London aged 2 and grew up to embrace the West. Part "White Teeth", part "Adrian Mole", it's a hugely endearing tale of Ahmad's dedication to an eternal quest to become the quintessential English gentleman. Will appeal to fans of other memoirs such as "Where Did It All Go Right?" by Andrew Collins. 'Entertaining, moving and thoroughly thought-provoking' Val Hennessy, "Daily Mail"
Publisher's description:
A memoir of a Muslim boy born in Pakistan, who moves to London aged two and grows up to embrace the West. The narrator recalls his childhood in a series of snapshots: outrage as deserved victory is snatched away from him in the Karachi Bonnie Baby contest; and, shock at experiencing racist abuse from pupils, neighbours and strangers.
