pickThis is a powerful coming of age novel written in prose. It includes so much, but it all fits. It's about being Afro- European, about domestic violence, about being queer. I learned so much from reading this book and even after finishing it a couple of days ago, I'm still deeply impressed.
pickAnother part of my birthday book haul. A beautiful book for all ages.

pickWOW.
This book is intense.
This woman does not stay down.
I got a little 🤬 when she was explaining about her marriage to Rab and his behaviour.
I know what it's like to be cast out and isolated when you move to a new place and try to make it home. This lady does not quit, she followed her instincts and listened to her body and the earth.
She did not quit!
