Description

This is surrey, nothing bad ever happens. Except somehow fifteen-year-old Veerapen, ‘promising young kosher Tamil boy’ and the fastest runner in his school, has just helped bury Moon Suzuki, the girl he loved. His dad has run off with an optician and his mother’s just started speed-dating.

Since when did growing up in the suburbs get this complicated?

As the knots of Moon and Veerapen’s tragic romance unravel, Niven Govinden brings to life a misfit hero of the schoolyard, bristling with tenderness, venom and vigour.

Graffiti My Soul is hip, rich, big-hearted and unforgettable.
