The biggest delight of this story is the relationship between nine-year-old James and his mysterious Aunty Mary - and their joint love of pop music. This is West Indian Moss Side, Manchester, in the swinging sixties - a great nostalgia trip for readers old enough to remember. But change is afoot - beckoning James and his family to a brand new semi in Ashton-Under-Lyne. Flashbacks and memories of life in St Kitts add to an enjoyably rich mix.
