He takes my hand, pulls me to him. 'This is our dancing time.' A
debut about love, loss, freedom and dub reggae, Fire Rush is an
electrifying state-of-the-nation novel and an unforgettable
portrait of Black womanhood Yamaye lives for the weekend, when she
can go raving with her friends at The Crypt, an underground club in
the industrial town on the outskirts of London where she was born
and raised. A young woman unsure of her future, the sound is her
guide - a chance to discover who she really is in the rhythms of
those smoke-filled nights. In the dance-hall darkness, dub is the
music of her soul, her friendships, her ancestry. But everything
changes when she meets Moose, the man she falls deeply in love
with, and who offers her the chance of freedom and escape. When
their relationship is brutally cut short, Yamaye goes on a dramatic
journey of transformation that takes her first to Bristol - where
she is caught up in a criminal gang and the police riots sweeping
the country - and then to Jamaica, where past and present collide
with explosive consequences. 5* Reader Reviews 'I will be
recommending it to everyone' 'A phenomenal debut novel' 'Yamaye is
a fantastic central protagonist and narrator ... This novel takes
you on an emotional and unforgettable journey' 'This book has it
all ... You're immersed into something really special' 'A stunning
debut novel... as relevant to today's racial climate as the
1970s... it felt musical, with dub music almost a secondary
character in the novel'
