I appreciate you!The paperback is officially out now at your usual bookstores 📚You can grab your audiobook copy now on @audible_uk @spotifyuk or @applebooks voiced by the talented @conchitakm �Book Summary:Set between 1980s Kinshasa and early 2000s London, this powerful story vividly captures the Congo and its diaspora, weaving together Bijoux and Mira’s journeys across two continents and two generations. Through love, sexuality, and the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, they navigate their way toward belonging—toward home.This book is deeply personal— it’s a love letter to London, Kinshasa, single mothers, queer African lives, council estates, and a celebration of love in it’s many forms. by @rewritelondon
