"Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when he emigrated from Pakistan to Britain in 1974 with his mother, brother and sister. They came to join his father, who worked on the production line at Vauxhall, and settled in the Bury Park neighbourhood of Luton." "Sarfraz's teenage years were a constant battle to reconcile being both British and Muslim. Frustrated by real life, he sought solace in TV and music. But it was when his best friend introduced him to the music of Bruce Springsteen that his life changed for ever." "In this timely memoir, Sarfraz Manzoor retraces his journey from Lahore to Luton to Ladbroke Grove, from the minor frustrations of his childhood right up to his reaction to the tragedies of 9/11 and 7/7." "This is an inspiring tribute to the power of music to transcend race and religion - and a salute of thanks from one working-class Pakistani Muslim boy to the father who died too soon for his son to make him proud."--Jacket.
