What We Say: “Caleb Azumah Nelson’s debut novel is a poetic, poignant London love story. It follows two young Black creatives – a photographer and a dancer who are never named – as they quietly fall in love, exploring how such an intense love can rupture, and how such a break can heal. The perfect love story.” – Olivia McCrea-Hedley  

What They Say: “A beautiful and powerful novel about the true and sometimes painful depths of love” — Candice Carty-Williams, author of Queenie
