'I'd always known that I was Brown. Black was different though; it
came announced. Black came with expectations, of rhythm and other
things that might trip me up.' Imani is a foundling. Rescued as a
baby and raised by nuns on a remote Northumbrian island, she grows
up with an ever-increasing feeling of displacement. Full of
questions, Imani turns to her shadow, Amarie, and her friend,
Harold. When Harold can't find the answers, she puts it down to
what the nuns call her "greater purpose". At nineteen, Imani
answers a phone call that will change her life: she is being called
to Accra after the sudden death of her biological mother. Past,
present, faith and reality are spun together in this enthralling
debut. Following her transition from innocence to understanding,
Imani's experience illuminates the stories we all tell to make
ourselves whole.
