'A highly enigmatic, affectionate and robustly written portrayal of a mother-son relationship . . . very relatable' Diana EvansDriven by a deep-seated desire to understand his mother's life before he was born, Derek Owusu offers a powerful imagining of her journey. As she moves from Ghana to the UK and navigates parenthood in a strange and often lonely environment, the effects of displacement are felt across generations.

The book is structured around the seven keys of kindness: 1: There is more kindness in the world that you might think; 2: Being kind makes you feel good and that's OK; 3: Don't get too hung up on motives; 4: Kind people can be winners; 5: Kindness comes from seeing other people's points of view; 6: Anyone can be a hero; 7: Remember to be kind to yourself; A Prescription for kindness. You are kinder than you think, but we could all be kinder still - with enormous benefits for our personal mental health and wellbeing. The Keys to Kindness sets out a prescription for a kinder life that you can adapt to your own circumstances, and how to apply these lessons to ourselves, others and the planet"--Publisher's description.
