Synopsis

'A sharply written story with messy, deeply moving characters' Taylor Jenkins Reid

'I was captivated by the writing from page one... Powerful' Lizzie Damilola Blackburn

'The story of Kemi, Muna and Brittany-Rae - Black women hoping to start anew in a society that does not see them - is a story for these times' Chika Unigwe

'A sexy, surprising, searing debut about love, loss, desire, and the many dimensions of Black womanhood. Timely and terrific!' Deesha Philyaw

Three very different women are desperate for their lives to change. Though strangers, they are drawn to the same place: Stockholm, a city famed for its egalitarianism. But beneath the city's glittering surface lurk challenges old and new. Challenges that threaten to tear them down once and for all...

The authentic and insightful story of Kemi, Brittany-Rae and Muna, three Black women and their everyday experiences living in Stockholm, a predominantly white city. Three Black women. Three everyday lives. There is no one way to be Black.
