BUTTER HONEY PIG BREAD by FRANCESCA EKWUYASI 

Everybody, shut up! Stop what you’re doing! Read these words carefully: buy this book and read it now.   

I’m sure it’s already on your radar from the amazing reviews around Bookstagram, including @lipglossmaffia who gave me the final push I needed. Well thank god for her! 

A book set in Nigeria and Canada and England from the points of view of twin sisters and their mother. Throughout the novel we come to understand why their relationship is so fraught and why these women live and feel the way they do. 

There’s a lot of food, a lot of love and a touch of magic in this book and my heart feels so full. 

A good book allows you to feel all the emotions; a good writer keeps you controlled and contained as you experience those emotions and every word serves a purpose. 

I’m in awe. I’m in love. Favourite book of the year so far? Maybe.
