The walking dead by Gerald Seymour

A number of different stories converging on an Arab young man’s search for martyrdom in te streets of Luton. Well written and up to te very end you have no idea wich way the book will go. will he blow himself up or will he not. A lovely diary is being read in paralel by one of the main characters of his great uncle who went to fight the fascists in Spain which I guess tries to show the idealism of the different generations and perhaps the futility of it.
