Marjorie Lazaro's novel, 'A Person of Significance', explores London in the 1950s, at a time when immigrants were arriving from West Africa, India and the Caribbean, each with their own story. It follows the story of Gad, a talented young pianist from Burma, who arrives in London with nowhere to live, despite the fact that he has a place at a top music college. He faces prejudice from the unwelcoming city but, nevertheless, manages to pursue his ambition as a musician. Gad develops an individual style of performance that allows his warm musicality to connect with his audience. During his time as a music student, he also meets the beautiful Therese and embarks on a passionate, yet turbulent, relationship with her.
