ABSTRACT
London April 1991: Back to the beginning.
Trevor returns to Christ Church for the first time since the family’s abrupt departure when he was twelve years of age. Looking around, he is befriended by an office worker in the de-consecrated church and imagines that he sees his mother walking to the altar to receive Holy Communion and hears his own voice singing about a God who so loved the world - O Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world. The daydream fades and he returns to the buzz of a computer workshop in a new communication centre owned by a Japanese company. He talks to the girl whose family came from Barbados and who now live in Wimbledon, and Trevor reaches into his pocket to give her a calling card in case she ever decided to visit the Victoria Falls. Instead, he finds the card the old Fascist Jimmy gave him at his father’s funeral, and Trevor asks if the girl showing him around has a wastepaper basket, where he can throw away his very last link with the Mosley Movement.
