What We Say: “The messy, moving tale of Elsie, a young, Black, queer poet living in London, trying to find a sense of home – in every sense – after being evicted from her social housing. It’s a powerful evocation of life in the city as a struggling creative and features beautiful works by real-life poet Kai-Isaiah Jamal.” – Katie Teehan

What They Say: “A wonderfully fresh, zesty and sexy debut novelist who is putting black queer lives, loves and longings centre stage, where they belong”  Bernardine Evaristo, author of Girl, Woman, Other
