Review Quotes

"A masterfully woven exposition on love and loss, of the undoing of us, of what it takes to heal.

"Eve would probably sympathise with Meghan Markle when it comes to meeting frosty English in-laws. Following in the footsteps of novelists such as Candice Carty-Williams and Natasha Brown, Nwabineli exposes everyday racism while never feeling preachy. I was reeled in by her chatty voice and stayed for the tender, touching depiction of grief and family."--The Sunday Times

"Incisive and witty, this deeply moving debut about the many faces of grief took me on an oscillating journey of emotions. I couldn't put it down. Each richly developed character leaps off the page with vivid dimension through Onyi's razor-sharp voice. Fresh and original contemporary fiction from the Diaspora I've long yearned for."--Lolá Ákínmádé Åkerström, internationally bestselling author of In Every Mirror She's Black
