A debut about dub, reggae, love, loss and freedom, Fire Rush is a state-of-the-nation novel that paints an unforgettable portrait of Black womanhood.

Quote from 2023 judge Louise Minchin: ‘I love this story. It's a love story. It's about music. It's about passion. It's about your roots. It's told from the point of view of a young British black woman growing up in 1970s London. I could not put it down, and I can't wait for people to read it."
