About
Wil Roach writes about living within a Caribbean culture in the heart of London, as a child of the '60s through to the '80s. Born on the island of Trinidad and brought to the UK as a baby, Wil grew up as a * black boy in the frosty capital of Britain, learning by degrees about cultural and sexual diversity. Wil Roach on writing memoir Writing enables me to give voice to my untold stories, those that have existed for longer than I can remember. Ghost stories that I thought would remain shrouded in mystery have developed my writer's voice so that these memories are made flesh and have then taken shape on the page. Now I can see myself more clearly and without sadness.
