Yu see me? I was eight years old when I came to H Inglan - I travel on my mother's passport. August Henderson, fifty-two years in England, a proud West Bromwich Albion fan, part-owner of a fruit and veg emporium, and a devoted dad. He's got the gift of the gab, exaggerates his musical talents, has no head for paperwork, and is about to marry the woman he loves. And then the Home Office threatens him with deportation. August won't go quietly.
