Review:
Leone Ross is the author of All the Blood Is Red and Orange Laughter, as well as the short fiction anthologies Brown Sugar: A Collection of Black Erotica, Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora, and Time Out London Short Stories, Volume 2.
'This is the real deal' Benjamin Zephaniah 'The beautiful language of real people. These stories have integrity, sharpness and clarity. This is the real deal.' Benjamin Zephaniah 'This powerful and moving collection does what the best short stories should do - provide a mirror into a less familiar world.' Bonnie Greer 'Compelling and completely unpredictable. A book which is so alive it feels hot to hold.' Yasmin Alibhai-Brown 'Exciting slices of lives never seen before, emotions rarely touched and of course, voices seldom heard. Enticing.' Courttia Newland 'Stories that sparkle with the vitality of Birmingham itself.' Debjani Chatterjee
