Krátky popis
Newly arrived from Ghana with his mother and older sister,
eleven-year-old Harrison Opoku lives on the ninth floor of a block
of flats on an inner-city housing estate. The second best runner in
the whole of Year 7, Harri races through his new life in his
personalised trainers - the Adidas stripes drawn on with marker pen
- blissfully unaware of the very real threat all around him. With
equal fascination for the local gang - the Dell Farm Crew - and the
pigeon who visits his balcony, Harri absorbs the many strange
elements of his new life in England: watching, listening, and
learning the tricks of urban survival. But when a boy is knifed to
death on the high street and a police appeal for witnesses draws
only silence, Harri decides to start a murder investigation of his
own. In doing so, he unwittingly endangers the fragile web his
mother has spun around her family to try and keep them safe. A
story of innocence and experience, hope and harsh reality, Pigeon
English is a spellbinding portrayal of a boy balancing on the edge
of manhood and of the forces around him that try to shape the way
he falls.
