SHORTLISTED FOR THE AUTHORS' CLUB BEST FIRST NOVEL AWARD Two women search for a place of belonging, in this stunning novel that will break your heart and lift you up. 'A stunning novel and a dynamic intergenerational tale' Bernardine Evaristo 'A fresh voice in the global narrative of women's lives' Charmaine Wilkerson 'A wonderful, vital novel' Irenosen Okojie MBE 'Evocative and exhilarating' Salena Godden 'A captivating read from an exciting new voice' Cherie Jones To the world, Bijoux is the obedient daughter, dutifully attending prayer meetings and following the rigid expectations of her stern Pentecostal aunt. But Bijoux dreams of another life, one where she can live freely and be with the woman she loves. Twenty years earlier, in Kinshasa, Mira also longs to escape her family's expectations. When she falls in love with an impoverished singer, a criminal in the eyes of her parents, her choices will set her on a dramatic path that winds its way across oceans and decades. Both women will undertake moving and life-altering journeys, through love and sexuality, loss and redemption, to search for what they've always been looking for - home.
