"But most people only get one or two folks like that their whole lives."
Bryan Washington's new novel Family Meal will be on my list of favourites for this year.
Just look at all those flags! ...the sign of a writer whose prose you admire.

"Several times throughout the novel, characters glimpse their reflections in surfaces overlaid with what is outside: a corpse, bare branches. This is an apt metaphor for the novel itself as layers of history accumulate, a palimpsest of upheavals that are always both personal and part of larger political forces that show the power-seeking (“the luckiest”) attempting to crush the powerless. This is a novel that demands a great deal emotionally and intellectually of the reader, but its boldness and ambition leave an indelible imprint.
A rule-shattering novel about the presentness of the past."

#AdasRealm is one of the recommended reads of #TheBritishBlackList this month!
"When we first collide with Ada, she is living in a small village in soon-to-be Ghana ... As we follow her story and the centuries progress, Ada will transform into a mathematical genius, a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, and a pregnant Ghanaian woman seeking a new start in Berlin in 2019. Ada is everywhere and everyone."
