    SHORTLISTED FOR THE HWA CROWN DEBUT AWARD

    'A new classic' SARA COLLINS, author of THE CONFESSIONS OF FRANNIE LANGTON
    'A gorgeous book' ALEX WHEATLE, author of BRIXTON ROCK
    _____________

    Brixton 1981. Sixteen-year-old Michael is already on the wrong side of the law. In in his community, where job opportunities are low and drug-running is high, this is nothing new.

    But when Michael falls for Ngozi, a vibrant young immigrant from the Nigerian village of Obowi, their startling connection runs far deeper than they realise.

    Narrated by the spirit of an African woman who lost her life on a slave ship two centuries earlier, her powerful story reveals how Michael and Ngozi's struggle for happiness began many lifetimes ago.

    Through haunting, lyrical words, one unforgettable message resonates: love, hope and unity will heal us all.
