Özet
 'White, one of Britain's boldest journalists, has produced a warm, witty, delightful memoir which deserves to be widely read.' Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland

'A fascinating read written by a wonderful woman.' Carol Vorderman

'To feel as though you belong and knowing who you are are both the most important necessities of life and essential to one's wellbeing. This historic, inspirational book demonstrates that.' Baroness Floella Benjamin OM DBE

Home is a vital base for us to thrive, yet, for some, the question of where home is isn't as simple as an address.

Depending on circumstance, 'home' may not simply be where we rest, eat and sleep. With the concept of home comes questions of ancestry, identity and belonging, and the understanding that there is no one fixed idea of what or where home is.

In No Place Like Home, Charlene White boldly shares her own story and understanding of home as a Jamaican Londoner exploring all the smells, memories and voices from her childhood.

Alongside her personal story, White interviews eight individuals who give their perspectives on home and their experiences that are shaped by myriad events from difficult family situations to desperate political upheaval and war. No Place Like Home is a powerful and heartfelt exploration of family, food and finding your place, as well as the moments in history that have changed the way we feel about the simplest of terms: 'home'.©2024 Charlene White (P)2024 Little Brown Book Group Limited for and on behalf of Dialogue Books Cooking Culinary Food & Wine Gastronomy Human Geography Professionals & Academics Siyah İçerik Üreticileri Social Sciences Esprili Samimi

I felt the connection with Jamaica and the UK, especially South East of London, as we had a similar upbringing.

relatable to Jamaican roots

A most enjoyable listen, Charlene. It was refreshing to hear you talk about the different cultures; their food, family life and experiences. I like the multicultural approach you took in writing your book. I learnt a lot and hope to try some of the food you described as well as visit some of the places you mentioned. Listening to your book reminds me of the statement: "There is more in life that unite us than divide us". Life could be so much better if we could all become more tolerant of each other, embrace our differences and draw on/learn from each other's experiences. Thank you Charlene for broadening my knowledge of life and the world as a whole. You will have to come over to teach me how to cook "ackee and salt fish" correctly. I really enjoyed your book. Maybe you could write another book exploring the views and experiences of children from around the world who have recently come to live here in Britain???

The examples used ti explain what home means to different people.

Hearing this in Charlene’s own voice makes all the difference. She has cleverly weaved the tapestry of people’s versions of home or lack of across the uk and the world with great insight, compassion and thoughtfulness. You’ll learn a lot. I did.

Rich in research knowledge & heart
