About this listen
Sarfraz Manzoor was two years old when his family emigrated from Pakistan to join his father in Bury Park, Luton. His teenage years were a constant battle to reconcile being both British and Muslim. But when his best friend introduced him to Bruce Springsteen, his life changed for ever. In this affectionate and timely memoir, Manzoor retraces his journey from the frustrations of his childhood to his reaction to the tragedies of 9/11 and 7/7.
Original, darkly tender and wryly amusing, this is an inspiring tribute to the power of music to transcend race and religion and a moving account of a relationship between father and son.

"Beautiful and moving...a book to make you believe that we are all more alike than we know." (Tony Parsons)
"Every detail rings so true that you feel you have been offered a seat in his living-room. Suffusing all this is Manzoor's warm, humane, unsensational voice: it makes you want to extend the hand of friendship to him." (Sunday Telegraph)

I laughed, I cried and my heart was warmed.
If you’re a Springsteen fan, you’ll Iove it.
But, even if it isn’t the Boss who brought you here, I still feel there’s plenty to offer.
Superb

The book was equally as amazing but in a different way. Much more thought provoking and a magnificent eye into the childhood of someone who was born the same decade as myself. Really enjoyed finding out about his family and life in Luton.
Didn’t disappoint
