“Every traveller begins his journey in the Valley of Souls; the very first gift of new life. It is only this once that he is Immaculate”
Only This Once Are You Immaculate
An army of shadows gathers, looking to break free from the navel of the world, where they have been subdued for hundreds of years. Zimbabwean author Blessing Musariri’s stunning début recasts the realism of our world in an uncannily resonant new light.
“”
Say
Exploring the limits of language in the face of overwhelming loss, Say attempts to forge a language with which to probe subjects that still remain largely taboo: grief, childhood bereavement, the challenges and possibilities of cross-cultural and interracial relationships, mixed-race identity, colonialism and its aftermath.
“astounding, deeply personal, exhilarating”
Mercy
a dizzying yet finely orchestrated menagerie of dark fairytale, biblical allusion and metamorphosis, anchored by a sense of something intimate in every bright detail.
“grief, joy, light”
She can still sing
She Can Still Sing by Louisa Adjoa Parker beats with the knowledge of what it is to have known pain, but still remember the pathways of joy.
“Coming soon”
