Wondrous Oblivion is the story of David, an 11-year-old who loves to play cricket but is not very good at the sport. When a Jamaican family moves in next door and builds a cricket net in their back garden, David is in 7th heaven. But this is 1960s Britain, and other neighbors make life difficult for the new arrivals. David’s family is caught in the middle, and he has to choose between fitting in or standing up for new friends.
