Onyi Nwabineli recommends
Smallie (2026)
Eden McKenzie-Goddard
"It is not too often that the significance of someone's work strikes you between the eyes from the first page, but this is what Eden has achieved with Smallie... Smallie reminds us of what it means to unite in powerlessness and how our futures often rest in the palms of the unjust. Told with stunning language and underlining the plight of the Windrush generation in the UK, this novel is one that will live with me indefinitely."
Dominoes (2024)
Phoebe McIntosh
"Dominoes is a striking, thought-provoking read and Phoebe McIntosh expertly examines the intricacies of romance as it intersects with race and class. A stirring story with strong, complex characters that delves into the legacy of Britain's slave trade while interrogating love, friendship and identity. Simultaneously sweet and sobering, this is one you will not want to miss."
Nightbloom (2023)
Peace Adzo Medie
"Peace Adzo Medie returns with a formidable exploration of friendship and the intricacies of the relationships that shape us. Told by two bright voices, Nightbloom is a journey that spans years and explores a different truths along a parallel journey. Touching, bold and thought-provoking, this story is one everyone should read."
