Description

Four women spark a revolution on a Caribbean island – the electrifying new novel from the Costa-winning author of The Mermaid of Black Conch. ‘Vital, enraging and brilliant. I loved it’ SARAH WINMAN‘Beautiful and important’ SAFIYA SINCLAIREarly one morning, at the close of St Colibri’s carnival, a young female steel-pan player is found dead beneath a cannonball tree.

It is a discovery that will transform the lives of everyone on this small island. As the days pass, this shocking event draws together four women.

There’s Sharleen, a journalist with an eye for the real story.

Her childhood friend Tara, the pink-haired, straight-talking star of the activism scene.

Gigi, the ‘notorious’ founder of the Port Isabella Sex Workers Collective. And Daisy, first lady of St Colibri, who is haunted by a disappearance in her own family decades ago. In a community in which women’s voices are often silenced and violence against them is often overlooked, the group soon find themselves compelled to speak out – and to act.

But even they could never have foreseen the consequences of their courage…‘A thrilling read, I loved it’ SADIE JONES‘A vital novel… Fiery, funny and ferociously feminist’ DIANA EVANS‘The spirit of carnival itself is in the writing… Electrifying’ JASON ALLEN-PAISANT‘Monique Roffey is a trailblazer of Caribbean literature’ BREANNE MC IVOR
