Winston Jacob is, in many ways, a mystery to his daughter Angela. She knows he came to England on the Empire Windrush in 1948, but he never speaks of his old life back in Jamaica. Questions have always been met with a shrug or, worse, a suck of the teeth. But then, two before he's due to retire, Winston develops a limp. As his health rapidly fails, it falls to Angela to ease the burden on her mother. And as she spends more time in the small North London council flat she and her three siblings grew up in, it casts both her father and her childhood years in a new light.
