His sleepy fishing village in 1930s  Barbados is overseen by the English landlord who lives on the hill, just  as their ''Little England'' is watched over by the Mother Country. Yet  gradually, G. finds himself awakening to the violence and injustice that  lurk beneath the apparent order of things. As the world he knows begins  to crumble, revealing the bruising secret at its heart, he is spurred  ever closer to a life-changing decision. Lyrical and unsettling, George  Lamming''s autobiographical coming-of-age novel is a story of tragic  innocence amid the collapse of colonial rule.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Rich and riotous'' \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Its poetic imaginative writing has never been surpassed'' \u003ci\u003eTribune\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57549936361854,"sku":"NW9780241296066","price":10.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780241296066.jpg?v=1781534643","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/in-the-castle-of-my-skin","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
