He is deeply shocked to realise that, as a black man from British Guiana, no one will employ him because of the colour of his skin. In desperation he turns to teaching, taking a job in a tough East End school, and left to govern a class of unruly teenagers. With no experience or guidance, Braithwaite attempts to instill discipline, confound prejudice and ultimately, to teach.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nA book that the reader devours quickly, ponders slowly, and forgets not at all-Moving and inspiring ―\u003cbr\u003e\nNew York Times\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nE.R.
