Alem està de vacances amb el seu pare uns dies a Londres. Mai no havia estat fora d'Etiòpia i està molt emocionat. Passen uns dies fantàstics fins un matí quan Alem es desperta a la pensió on s'allotgen i es troba l'impensable: el seu pare l'ha deixat. Li ha deixat una carta, amb una explicació: a causa dels problemes polítics a Etiòpia, tant ell com la mare d'Alem, creuen que Alem estarà més segur a Londres, tot i que els trenca el cor. Alem està ara pel seu compte, en mans dels serveis socials i del Consell de Refugiats. Viu de carta en carta, a l'espera de saber coses del seu pare i, en particular, de la seva mare, que ara ha desaparegut ...
Una nova novel·la poderosa i captivadora del autor de "Face", Benjamin Zephaniah, molt conegut en la literatura anglesa contemporània.

Acclaimed performance poet and novelist Benjamin Zephaniah's honest, wry and poignant story of a young refugee left in London is of even more power and pertinence today than when it was first published.

Life is not safe for Alem. His father is Ethopian, his mother Eritrean. Their countries are at war, and Alem is welcome in neither place.

So Alem is excited to spend a holiday in London with his father - until he wakes up to find him gone. What seems like a betrayal is in fact an act of love, but now Alem is alone in a strange country, and he must forge his own path ...

Brilliantly written and with a real ear for dialogue, fans of Angie Thomas and Malorie Blackman will love Benjamin Zephaniah's novels for young adult readers:
