Produktbeschreibung

THE DAZZLING DEBUT NOVEL ABOUT LOVE, COMMUNITY AND DREAMS DEFERRED - BY AN EXCITING NEW LITERARY VOICE

Sayon Hughes, a young black man living in Bristol, longs to escape the world in which he was raised and make a better life with Shona, the strong-minded, strong-willed girl he's always loved.

Yet his ties to his loving but lawless extended family continue to pull him back. Sayon finds himself increasingly trapped in the cycle of murderous violence and drug-dealing to which he has been drawn by his unpredictable and fiercely loyal cousin Cuba.

One night, Shona's charismatic pastor father witnesses an altercation involving Sayon and Cuba, in which a young man is killed. Soon the pastor begins to exert his own hold over Sayon, and Sayon finds his loyalties torn. Is it possible to break free from his family and his past? And if he doesn't, does he stand to lose Shona forever?
