Possibly my favourite book of 2022! This is a powerful story with inspiring characters that will stay with me for a long time. Lola Jaye has beautifully written an important historical fiction/ mystery novel about the Black British identity that will break your heart and then lift you back up. A resounding ☆☆☆☆☆
