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.                         –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––-                                GLOWING READER REVIEWS                                ‘Fiamanya's writing is just gorgeous – it's tender, it's unflinching, and it's totally immersive’                                ??????????                                ‘This is one of the best books I’ve read this year, and I truly hope more people discover it’                                ??????????                                ‘All in all this was an absolutely stunning debut novel, I cannot wait to read more of Fiamanya's work in the future’                                ??????????                                ‘Hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking, this took my breath away.
