A witty & sharply-written story of a young girl who refuses to conform and wants a better future for herself. A coming of age novel set in 1960s Bradford about Mercy, a precocious Jamaican girl who wants to escape a bad situation. Very good debut novel. #WomensPrize @womensprize.bsky.social

What a bittersweet & heartwarming book. Sybil Van Antwerp is such a character. An epistolary novel full of heart, grief and a life somewhat well-lived. Through these pieces of correspondence, we get to know her worries, fears & innermost thoughts. Another gem! #WomensPrize @womensprize.bsky.social
