My Wonderful Day

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of north London, the story revolves around Winnie, a nearly nine-year-old girl, and her mother Laverne, who is a second-generation Afro-Caribbean woman navigating life as a single parent while pregnant. Laverne dreams of returning to Martinique and enforces a French-only rule on Tuesdays, coinciding with her cleaning job at the home of the wealthy and irritable Kevin Tate. The narrative blends comedy with themes of cultural identity, family dynamics, and the challenges of motherhood.
