Friday Bridge

By Dawn Bates

FRIDAY BRIDGE (duology)

Friday Bridge is a glimpse behind the veil into Islam and British racism. Untainted by cultural influence, this is the story of navigating life between East and West, hedonism and piety.

Navigating the cultural landscape of Britain, Dawn takes us on a journey of a faith sharing what it means to be a successful, educated businesswoman, who chooses the most hated religion in the world.

With the hedonistic illegal raves and drug culture of Britain in the 1990s, Dawn share’s the euphoric highs and dark lows as friends die and fall by the wayside – especially as the terror attacks of 9/11 and the 7/7 bombings happen.

Sharing the tale of her ex husband’s brain injury, Dawn demonstrates the powerful feminine resilience running through every fiber of her body.

With lived experience of cultural diversity, targeted as a ‘traitor’, Dawn talks about a different kind of terrorism. With racial hatred fuelled by the tabloid press, Britain First, the English Defence League, and UKIP, Dawn shares the darker side of Britain.

From random police checks, fighting for social justice, religious freedom, peaceful integration and doing her best to understand what it means to be British; this book showcases the hidden meaning of ‘British values’.

It is the reality of a white English girl who fell in love with a ‘bloody foreigner’.

This is a book is guaranteed to make you stop and analyse everything you think you know about multicultural Britain, and reflect on your own interactions with neighbours, colleagues and strangers.

With brilliantly funny anecdotes, tear jerking moments and a heart worn on my sleeve, you’re guaranteed a great read.
