Description

Historical Fiction Four brave and brilliant women, connected and controlled by one man, and a world that puts all power to his elbow. This is their story, and for some of them, it is all that is left. Paperback 544 pages Faber & Faber ‘With Ingrid Persaud’s, assured, wizened and brilliant hand at the pen, these women become vitally, thrillingly, and unforgettably alive.’ MARLON JAMES

Popo is brilliant, vulnerable and stuck – but despite those who want to own her, she is determined to free herself from the traps of her past, whatever the cost. Mana Lala is equally as focussed on her little boy who connects her to the man she loves, and she will do anything to keep them both close. For Doris, life is an opportunity she will grab with all her might – hers is another iron will constrained by the truths of being a woman in 1930s Trinidad. And then there is Rosie, pouring her soul into her business, her lover Etty and her store.

 

Ingrid Persaud’s debut novel, Love After Love, won the Costa First Novel award, the Author’s Club First Book Award and the Indie Book Award for Fiction. Other prizes include the BBC National Short Story Award and the Commonwealth Short Story Prize. She was born in Trinidad and lives in London.
