Sweetness in the Skin (2024)Ishi Robinson"Ishi Robinson has written a delightful story set in Jamaica, amid heartbreak, hopefulness, and mirth. This tender, humorous, coming-of-age tale celebrates the flavors and language of Jamaica while unveiling the impact of colorism and class divisions on one family. I found myself rooting for clever, vulnerable Pumkin as she reached for her dreams and yearned for acceptance."Maude Horton's Glorious Revenge (2024)Lizzie Pook"Yet another page turner from Lizzie Pook. Maude Horton's Glorious Revenge is a captivating historical thriller with an unusual heroine at its heart. I loved this story of two sisters, a heartbreaking mystery, and a life-or-death quest." The House of Plain Truth (2024)Donna Hemans"Shifting ideas of home, family and culture collide in this evocative tale of memory and reconciliation. The House of Plain Truth meanders through the Jamaican countryside and one family's troubles in a way that feels unique yet universal in its exploration of migration, broken promises and forgiveness." Under the Tamarind Tree (2023)Nigar Alam"A lush compelling drama... A reminder of how both sweeping historic events and personal secrets can shape lives and continue to reap consequences across the generations." The List (2023)Yomi Adegoke"The List asks 'what if?' and the answers will surely get people thinking. A vibrantly told exploration of the messy interface between virtual and offline relationships. A page-turning tale!" Hold My Girl (2023)Charlene Carr"A compelling and thought-provoking read. In Hold My Girl, Charlene Carr dares to ask What if? when there are no easy answers. This is a page-turner of a story that explores motherhood, vulnerability, and colourism in the age of assisted fertility. Congratulations to Charlene on turning a real-life thought into a fictional scenario to such great effect!" The Bandit Queens (2023)Parini Shroff"The Bandit Queens is an original, memorable, and endearing story. At times deeply serious, then laugh-out-loud funny, Parini Shroff has written a sobering but hopeful exploration of womanhood, social injustices, and second chances." A Quiet Life (2022)Ethan Joella"A Quiet Life is filled with people I'd like to meet. Ethan Joella's latest novel reminds us that life is made of journeys, not only destinations. Read this one slowly; you'll want to savor the details." All The Single Ladies (2022)Ronali Collings"It was a joy to read this story of three British Asian women who must navigate difficult relationships, cultural friction, and happy discoveries that will change their lives forever. Collings' wry sense of humour and empathy made Love & Other Dramas all the more satisfying to read." Visitors also looked at these authors
