An extraordinary novel. At once a story of a sharp-witted young girl trying to hold herself together during political upheaval, and an achingly tender tale of community, family, grief and forgiveness
Maaza Mengiste, Booker Prize-shortlisted author of THE SHADOW KING
A major new writing talent. Not only does the novel confront history, masculinity and gender in refreshing but uncompromising ways, it also has a remarkably original voice, fresh and irreverent.
Chris Abani, author of GRACELAND
A brilliant powerhouse of a novel, an incandescent read from an electrifying writer
