The brilliant second novel from the acclaimed author of In Every Mirror She’s Black

follows three women as they try to navigate life, love, prejudice and privilege in
Stockholm.
Yasmiin cannot comprehend what the policeman is saying to her. Her friend in a coma?
Attempted suicide? Discovering she’s listed as next of kin, Yasmiin looks to her friend’s
past to try and understand her actions, uncovering fresh mysteries at every turn. All the
while, her own life seems to be running off course…
Kemi seems to have it all: a high-powered job, a beautiful flat, a loving boyfriend. So why
doesn’t she feel more settled? Unsure whether its homesickness, heartsickness or
sick-and-tired-of-the-same-old-sickness, she embarks on a destructive path to try and
change things up…
Brittany-Rae doesn’t remember the woman she was before she met her husband
Jonny. She knows she was an ambitious, confident go­getter, but now she’s faded into
Jonny’s domineering shadow. And as she unearths disturbing secrets about her
husband, she’s focused on only one thing: her daughter, Maya, and ensuring she is as
far away from Jonny as possible…
The three women’s lives begin to overlap in the most unexpected of circumstances.
Is it possible that the answer to their problems – though it seems impossible – lie in
one another’s hands?
