Critics Review
A vivid, vital examination of the mixed experience, Natalie Morris’ book brings the issues alive in an accessible way that highlights the complications and joys of having multiple heritage in modern-day Britain. * Sareeta Domingo, author of Who’s Loving You *
One of the most powerful books I have ever read. Morris gives us a compelling and poignant read, examining exactly what it means to be of mixed heritage in Britain. Essential reading. * Di Lebowitz, author of THE MARKS LEFT ON HER *
A modern, rigorous and deeply personal examination of identity told deftly, Natalie’s writing gives voice to many lesser-known facets of the mixed heritage experience. This book made me feel seen and heard in so many ways. In today’s polarised society, racial discourse so often flattens and falls short but Mixed, Other is a nuanced and compelling read, told skillfully. I’m so excited for the impact Natalie will continue to make on the world as a writer and storyteller. * Georgina Lawton, author of Raceless *
