Detailed commentary and analysis by Claire's Notes of 'Mrs Mahmood' by Segun Afolabi (Part 1)
Cambridge iGCSE: Stories of Ourselves
In this short story, we meet Mr Mahmood, a Nigerian living in London with his wife, Isobel. The manager of a busy sports shop on Tottenham Court Road, he is plagued by feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt and dissatisfaction. His pursuit and apprehension of a teenaged shoplifter triggers a flashback to the day, when he was seventeen, that his dreams of being a celebrated runner died. A soul-searching journey begins as he explores his feelings of anger, frustration and regret. How will he feel when an Olympic athlete comes into the shop with his son to buy a pair of trainers?
