'One of the most-talked about debut novels of 2020' Stylist
'A new literary star' The Times
The instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller
When Emira is apprehended at a supermarket for 'kidnapping' the white child she's actually babysitting, it sets off an explosive chain of events. Her employer Alix, a feminist blogger with the best of intentions, resolves to make things right.
But Emira herself is aimless, broke and wary of Alix's desire to help. When a surprising connection emerges between the two women, it sends them on a crash course that will upend everything they think they know o about themselves, each other, and the messy dynamics of privilege.
