Go Home Birdie Brown By Laura Blake (Hardback)

Birdie has come too far to go quietly …A powerful and emotional novel inspired by the Windrush Scandal, for fans of All My Mothers by Joanna Glen and Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins-Valdez

This is a story about being told you don’t belong. This is a story about knowing you do.

This is a story about Birdie.

Birdie Brown’s life is held together by family — her sharp-witted daughter Carmen, her son Scott who no one mentions, and five grandkids who keep her on her toes. Retirement is bingo nights, babysitting, and TV with her granddaughter Saffie — until a letter from the Home Office arrives.

It says she’s here illegally. That she must return to Jamaica — a country she hasn’t seen since childhood.

As the system threatens to erase her, Birdie must confront buried truths and fractured ties. Can she hold on to the life she built — and the family that built her?
