Book description
FROM THE WINNER OF THE INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2021'With Ingrid Persaud's, assured, wizened and brilliant hand at the pen, these women become vitally, thrillingly, and unforgettably alive.' MARLON JAMES'A voice that has a vibrancy of its own.' RACHEL JOYCE'A talented and engaging storyteller.' Sunday Times'Persaud has a knack for finding the sublime in the ordinary.' SARA COLLINS, GuardianFrom the award-winning author of Love After Love, comes an epic of wonder, danger and risk.Popo is brilliant, vulnerable and stuck - but despite those who want to own her, she is determined to free herself from the traps of her past, whatever the cost. Mana Lala is equally as focussed on her little boy who connects her to the man she loves, and she will do anything to keep them both close. For Doris, life is an opportunity she will grab with all her might - hers is another iron will constrained by the truths of being a woman in 1930s Trinidad. And then there is Rosie, pouring her soul into her business, her lover Etty and her store. Four brave and brilliant women, connected and controlled by one man, and a world that puts all power to his elbow. This is their story, and for some of them, it is all that is left.Readers adored Lost Love Songs:'Amazing! I couldn't put the book down. The characters were so real, and the story flowed.
