Description
Stanley Williams' life feels stuck in neutral. His job at a high-rise bank is a monotony he can't escape. But when his Jamaican father passes away, he's forced to confront the possibility that there's more to life than his 9-to-5 routine. Enter Jessie O'Donnell, a barmaid with a passion for music and a desire to hit the open road in her old van. As they embark on an unlikely journey across Europe, they stumble upon forgotten heroes of the past - from Shakespeare's mysterious 'Dark Lady' to Pushkin's Ethiopian great-grandfather. Their odyssey is a collision of history, culture, and personal search for love and belonging. This novel weaves together the threads of their lives with those of the past, creating a bouncy and touching tale that explores the complexities of identity, community, and what it means to find one's place in the world.
