A Booker Prize winner, this engaging novel follows twelve characters, most of whom are black British women, whose stories intertwine in clever ways. Each character differs in age, social status, and occupation, giving readers multiple views from which to examine modern British culture and its ties to Britain’s colonial past in Africa and the Caribbean. Mentions of domestic abuse, child abuse, and sexual violence make this book better suited for older readers.
