Oh i liked this so much.

Beautifully written, like an interwoven collection of short stories, of a network of Black women living their lives in England (and places beyond). The characters are enthralling and enlightening. I’m excited to read other works by this author.

an absolutely stunning kaleidoscope

I found it really impressive that each of the 12 characters felt so real and complete. Reading the book is like watching an actor who can play any role.

Great vacation read, this book is a small encyclopedia of women relationships, lifestyles and struggles without being an exhaustive one, of course.
Built like a rainbow of experiences and lots of different personalities, I loved the way their lives intertwined and how they influenced each other.
