*LONGLISTED FOR THE SALTIRE BOOK AWARDS*
'A moving exploration of family, migration, class, queerness and belonging... beautifully rendered' JESSICA ANDREWS
'A deeply observant, perceptive writer' JOANNA CANNON
'Masterful' JJ BOLA
'Evocative, layered and emotionally resonant... deserves to be on your reading list' GLAMOUR
'Love was a tightrope between freedom and control. He didn't know how others seemed to walk it with ease'------------------------------------------------------------------
Elom can't make sense of love. It's like a language he can't speak, though he's heard the words before.
He wants to feel understood - by his well-meaning yet misapprehending family, his self-assured partner Ben, and his boisterous friends - but he never knows the right thing to say.
How can you know yourself, in a world that's constantly changing?
Set across Ghana and Scotland, this is an intimate portrait of one man's search for belonging, a family's attempt to love, and the choices that make a life.

Sad Beautiful Tragic
This debut hit me right in the feels. The story of Elom and his family is told through changing POV's, jumping a bit in time. Right from the start we know this is gonna end a tragedy but hope still perseveres. Highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for literary fiction that tells compelling stories about different cultures and people.
