A sweeping, uplifting and inspirational story of how a
boy from Brixton and a girl from Lagos reinvent their
lives in modern-day London.
- But on the streets of Brixton, it's hard to hold onto your
dreams, especially if you are a young black man. Racial
tensions rumble, and now Michael Watson might land in
jail for a crime he did not commit.
- Thousands of miles away, village girl Ngozi abandons
her orange stall for the opportunity to work as a
housemaid for a middle-class family. From dusty tracks
to gritty pavements, Ngozi and Michael's journey
towards a better life is strewn with heartache. When
they finally collide, their lives will be transformed for
ever.
- With irresistible joy and grace, Rosanna Amaka writes
of people moving between worlds, and asks how we
can heal and help each other. Humming with beauty
and horror, tragedy and triumph
