This book reads as a series of micro essays on black womanhood in Britain, wrapped in the package of a slice of life of a woman meeting her in-laws. At times I felt that the writing was so literary and beyond the confines of plot that it lost me a little. Yet that is simultaneously one of its strongest points. A very poignant and poetic read.
