Description

A sweeping, uplifting and inspirational story of how a

boy from Brixton and a girl from Lagos reinvent their

lives in modern-day London.

- But on the streets of Brixton, it's hard to hold onto your

dreams, especially if you are a young black man. Racial

tensions rumble, and now Michael Watson might land in

jail for a crime he did not commit.

- Thousands of miles away, village girl Ngozi abandons

her orange stall for the opportunity to work as a

housemaid for a middle-class family. From dusty tracks

to gritty pavements, Ngozi and Michael's journey

towards a better life is strewn with heartache. When

they finally collide, their lives will be transformed for

ever.

- With irresistible joy and grace, Rosanna Amaka writes

of people moving between worlds, and asks how we

can heal and help each other. Humming with beauty

and horror, tragedy and triumph
