Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Catch by Yrsa Daley-Ward is a kaleidoscopic exploration of womanhood.
What We Say: “The Catch is a weird, wild, and wonderful book about two sisters pulled back into each other’s orbit by a woman who might be their vanished mother – or a total fake. A story about Black womanhood, messy families, and what it really means to choose yourself, Yrsa’s writing is bold, poetic, and full of bite. This book seriously doesn’t play by the rules – and that’s the magic of it.” – Samantha de Haas
What They Say: “A fantastic, shimmering work. Ysra Daley-Ward’s rich exploration of Black womanhood and familial complexities is a must read.” – Irenosen Okojie
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones, and Barnes & Noble
