Description

Bitter is a companion novel to Pet by Akwaeke Emezi. Set in a world where youth, protest and art intersect, this timely and riveting story follows Bitter as she navigates the power of creativity and activism. At Eucalyptus, a special school for artistic teens, Bitter finds solace amidst her passion for painting. However, outside these walls, the streets are filled with protests against deep-seated injustices in the town of Lucille. As Bitter is pulled between old friendships, creative pursuits, and new romance, she must confront where she truly belongs - in the art studio or on the streets. Bitter's journey raises important questions about identity, belonging, and the cost of standing up for what one believes in.
