In 'The Boy With No Shoes', William Horwood tells the moving story of Jimmy Rova, an unwanted five-year-old boy who faces maternal rejection and bullying from his siblings. His only treasure is a pair of shoes, a gift from someone who gave him affection. When these are cruelly taken away, Jimmy sinks into loneliness and loss. This inspiring autobiography narrates a child's struggle against early trauma and his path to adulthood, based on Horwood's own childhood in post-war England.
William Horwood is an English novelist. He grew up on the East Kent coast, primarily in Deal, within a family fractious with "parental separation, secret illegitimacy, alcoholism and genteel poverty".
