Coconut Unlimited by Nikesh Shukla

There`s been a lot of buzz around this word in the UK, especially since it was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award. Sadly it just lost the award, but I view it was a great little book and very, very orange!

What first drew my concern was that Coconut Unlimited was set in Harrow and the principal character Amit and his two friends Nishant and Anand are the only three Asians in a public boys` school.

Lori's prayer closet: Final thoughts on "Radical"

You and I bear on the porch of eternity.
