      SHORTLISTED FOR THE FOLIO PRIZE 2022, GOLDSMITHS PRIZE 2021, BOOKS ARE MY BAG FICTION AWARD 2021, BETTY TRASK PRIZE 2022, and LONGLISTED FOR THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE 2022. Praised as "diamond-sharp, timely and urgent" by the Observer, this debut novel is both "subtle and scorching" (Vogue) and "virtuosic" (Guardian). It captures the essence of coming of age during the credit crunch, navigating a hostile environment while striving for societal acceptance. The protagonist, a Black British woman, prepares for a lavish garden party at her boyfriend's family estate, reflecting on her carefully constructed identity. As the event approaches, she grapples with whether to dismantle the pieces of herself that conform to societal expectations. Lauded as "exquisite and daring" by Bernardine Evaristo, the narrative is described as a blend of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and Claudia Rankine's Citizen, showcasing a profound exploration of contemporary Britain. With its bold originality and keen insight into the colonialist structures of British society, this remarkable debut is a must-read, promising to resonate long after the final page is turned.
