This is so beautifully written, I genuinely am in awe.
It is slightly difficult to explain what this story is about - this is the story of two people, black and living in London.
This both is and isn't a love story, but i feel this has a lot to say about the black experience and does it so well. I found some of the writing difficult at points, but so much of it was so beautiful it flowed off the page, almost like poetry. I bet listening to the audiobook would be a great experience.
Would recommend this one for sure!
