As Britain transitions from a postwar manufacturing economy to the Thatcher period and the computer age, we see a young boy navigating childhood friendships and mishaps. The poems bring to life a bustling house filled with relatives from India who arrived, legally or otherwise, in the UK: 'devout realists - already, and always, knuckled into work'. They also offer powerful insight into the makings of the writer: the 'messy English' at home fusing with Bollywood ballads, \u003ci\u003eTop of the Pops\u003c\/i\u003e and hymns at school, to develop a voice entirely his own.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Yiewsley | Daljit Nagra | Hardcover | 9780571396559 | New | Poetry 1712774","offer_id":49717505228952,"sku":"1712774","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81PxBX04aFL.jpg?v=1787234552","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/yiewsley","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
