In Shani Akilah’s stunning collection of short stories, we meet a group of Black-British Londoners as they explore their platonic and romantic relationships, from a fleeting meeting between past lovers and the first bloom of a new love, to the grief of losing a sibling and the difficulty of navigating racial inequalities in the workplace. Bringing to life themes of community, faith and belonging, these beautifully crafted stories give an insight into the joys – and struggles – of the many ways we experience love and friendship.
