The Whistling Wind : the true story of a black man's struggle

The memoir of a black man growing up in the UK

Weird can be wonderful, mysterious and magical, the word conveys all levels of emotion. In this remarkable book, 'The Whistling Wind', the author John T. Hope takes the reader on a trip to the underbelly of today's society and the ugly underworld in gripping poetic prose. Born in the United Kingdom out of the Windrush generation, John T. Hope is an ordinary hardworking single black man writing a true story of romance in the midst of racism, unemployment, and the economic exploitation so many ethnic minorities face in the workplace. Stemming out of an impoverished background with a poor education, he confronts many unlucky turns of event on his life's journey, then ends up in prison. Upon his release, he's undeterred by the problems he encounters. Striving to survive, he writes to articulate why life is so hard in modern society and asks, why we can't all live together as equals.
