This is the story of a home. A story rooted in love. The story of a poet
born of an Irish jazz musician and a Jamaican go-go dancer, an absent
father and a resilient mother.
In Springfield Road,
Salena Godden evokes an era when oranges seemed bigger and summers were
longer, a world of half-penny sweets, free school milk, hand-me-downs
and Thatcher's Britain, for those too young to remember and for those
old enough to know. For Salena, it was a time for learning that life can
be brutal with first betrayals and first losses, but also that there
are endless riches to be found in the world.
In equal parts powerful, tender and fearless, Springfield Road shows us where, in a world full of shadows, the light is to be found.
