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.
