The Express on Sunday’s book review
this is from Sunday’s paper (15/7/07) and it is by David Connett
LUTON IS a grim place about which one suspects only the Luftwaffe
could have done something. It is somewhere you go to in order to get
somewhere better, either via the M1 motorway or Luton airport, from
which, a television advert once famously claimed, people were wafted to
paradise. Amid this blight the Marsh Farm estate is a particular
hellhole - I know, I’ve worked there. All this being said, it was partly
responsible for Sarfraz Manzoor becoming what he is today. Thankfully
his parents and family were equally influential.
This memoir, by turns touching and hilarious, is testimony to the fact
that humanity thrives in some of the most inhospitable places.
