Description

“The Fortune Men” by Nadifa Mohamed is a gripping, heartbreaking novel based on true events. Set in 1952 Cardiff, it follows Mahmood Mattan, a Somali former seaman and petty thief wrongfully accused of murder. Despite his belief in British justice, Mahmood finds himself ensnared by racism, prejudice, and a broken legal system. As his trial approaches and the noose looms, he realizes that being innocent may not be enough.

This powerful story shines a light on racial injustice in post-war Britain and the tragic consequences of systemic failure. It’s a chilling, humanizing tale of a man caught in history’s blind spots.
