Critics Review
Captivating … There’s a fluidity and zest to Williams’s insightful writing … A finely balanced novel – Colin Grant * Guardian *
Vastly enjoyable … Top-notch comic dialogue makes this light-footed navigation of race and gender politics fizz on the page – Anthony Cummins * Daily Mail *
[An] extremely funny Canadian debut about the decades-long fallout from an ill-advised hook-up between a young Caribbean student and an older white businessman, each grieving the loss of a parent. Pure pleasure, line after pitch-perfect line * Daily Mail *
