Love is the only thing a person truly needs to believe in to receive love in return.”Being an only child growing up in a Chinese immigrant family, Shen lives a relatively quiet and sheltered life in comparison to most other British teenagers. His parents, who ended up running a small Chinese restaurant, work tirelessly to make sure their only child is given the opportunities that they missed out on in life.It's a day like any other, when Shen becomes witness to a traumatic incident on his usual route to school.

In the weeks and months that follow, he finds himself hurled into turbulent world driven by fear, prejudice and social injustice. 33 Ermine Street is a touching yet confronting novel, set against the backdrop of a heavily polarized Britain.It's a day like any other, when Shen becomes witness to a traumatic incident on his usual route to school.
