Description
The Attic Child by Lola Jaye is a hauntingly powerful novel about family secrets, love and loss, identity and belonging. Two children, separated by time and circumstance, are bound together by a secret that lies hidden in an attic room.
One child, Celestine, is trapped in the attic of a large house by the sea, his memories of his homeland and family slowly fading away. Decades later, Lowra finds herself banished to the same attic, where she discovers a mysterious porcelain doll, a beaded claw necklace, and a cryptic message etched into the wall.
Lola Jaye's unique dual-narrative novel explores themes of Black British History, race, privilege, and the complexities of human experience. A deeply emotional and thought-provoking read, The Attic Child is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
