From award-winning author Olivia Wenzel comes a wry and unsettling literary debut about race, politics, feminism, motherhood, nationality and enduring love.
'So exuberant, inventive, brainy, sensitive and hilarious that it's like a pyrotechnic flare illuminating the whole woman, past and present, radiant, unique, a voice and a novel to take with us into the future.'
FRANCISCO GOLDMAN

LYNNE TILLMAN
'Captivating . . . An exciting, confident debut'
