By the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2021 A searing tale
of a young woman discovering her troubled family history and
cultural past Dottie Badoura Fatma Balfour finds solace amidst the
squalor of her childhood by spinning warm tales of affection about
her beautiful names. But she knows nothing of their origins, and
little of her family history - or the abuse her ancestors suffered
as they made their home in Britain. At seventeen, she takes on the
burden of responsibility for her brother and sister and is obsessed
with keeping the family together. However, as Sophie, lumpen yet
voluptuous, drifts away, and the confused Hudson is absorbed into
the world of crime, Dottie is forced to consider her own needs.
Building on her fragmented, tantalising memories, she begins to
clear a path through life, gradually gathering the confidence to
take risks, to forge friendships and to challenge the labels that
have been forced upon her.
