This elegant and eye-opening debut crosses continents and generations as it explores love, duty and the long shadows cast by colonialism. Winner of the New Writer’s Prize from Stormzy’s imprint Merky books, Hafsa Zayyan takes us from East Africa to the East Midlands - and back again. Themes of romance and exile combine with a stunning portrayal of modern Uganda as a young man tries to find his place in the world.
