A coming of age novel set against the backdrop of the 2011 London riots, When We Speak of Nothing launches a powerful new voice onto the literary stage. The fluid prose, peppered with contemporary slang, captures what it means to be young, black and queer in London. If grime music were a novel, it would be this.
A timely and thought-provoking title exploring the transgender community.
