LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION SHORTLISTED FOR THE
WATERSTONES DEBUT FICTION PRIZE 'A rhapsodic hymn to Black women'
New York Times Book Review 'Epic yet intimate' Cosmopolitan
'Ferocious and compassionate' Irish Times FAMILY CAN HOLD YOU
TOGETHER. AND TEAR YOU APART. Joan was only a child the last time
she visited Memphis. She doesn't remember the bustle of Beale
Street or the smell of honeysuckle as she climbs the porch steps to
her aunt's house. But when the front door opens, she does remember
her cousin Derek. As Joan learns more about her family's past she
discovers she's not the only North woman to have experienced great
hurt. But she also sees their resilience and courage, how these
extraordinary women fry green tomatoes and braid hair and sing all
the while. Joan can't change the past, but she can change her
future. It's time to find her own song to sing. **** READERS LOVE

spellbinding' 'This book has my entire heart' 'It felt so real - I
cried at their pain and smiled at their joy' 'Intricately plotted,
wildly satisfying' 'Epic, in every sense of the word. It completely
blew me away'
