Description

A powerful exploration of racism, solidarity, friendship, freedom and hope is at the heart of this debut novel. When Obah dreams of escaping her life as an enslaved person in Barbados, she meets a boy from the twenty-first century who offers her a chance to start anew. As they navigate their vastly different worlds, Obah begins to see that freedom comes with its own set of costs. This gripping and thought-provoking novel introduces an extraordinary new literary voice, offering a nuanced look at the legacy of slavery, injustice and inequality in today's world. With its compassionate and brave portrayal of complex issues, this book is both vital reading and a call to arms.
