About this product
Product Information
This is a story which starts in Uganda and is told through the eyes of a child. We follow her journey to England, prior to Idid Amin's forced Exodus and the angst of being the only non-white child in an English private school. While her parents are busy building their empire, the writer finds her identity is shaped by her experiences, rather than her culture with which she only had loose ties. At 18, She moves to New York where she is part of high society and lives a glamorous life but ultimately the 'guest shaped hole' inside her expands and swallows her up, she ventures down a path of self-destruction. Her life becomes entangled within the glamorous social set of boldface gossip column names and the twilight world of New York's underworld and drug abuse, and she ends up in the notorious New York prison, Rikers' Island. Farah comes back to London in 1995 and restarts her life but the old urge to self-annihilate leads her astray again and from becoming an influential figure in British media, she falls gain and ends up in prison for twenty one months. Friends and family become enemies, enemies become allies and lovers; nothing in life or in the version of her story, which was followed by the international media is what it seems. 'The truth' she says 'is just an agreed upon set of lies'. Try Me is a powerful tale of sex, lies and culture. Never self-pitying or indulgent, Try Me is a modern woman's journey to reclaim her self and her life. At times funny, moving and sad, it's been described as 'everyone's story to defy stereotypes about who we need to be'.
