Looking at my content warnings you might think to skip this book, but don't!! It tackles all of these things and more in such a respectful and thought provoking way. Honestly, the best book I've read in a long time, I would highly recommend everyone (of 18+ in age) read it, and just bear im mind going in that it will be challenging at times. Amazing work Bernardine Evaristo, I cannot wait to pick up your other books.

I found the book rather hard reading at the start due to the disjointed text. It grows on you and it is well worth the perseverance.
