´A searing, rhapsodic novel. The Book of Echoes is filled with beauty, devastation and the power of ancestral connections that ripple through the ages´ IRENOSEN OKOJIE

´So bewitching I almost felt like I time-travelled back into Brixton 1981. A gorgeous book - totally recommended.´ ALEX WHEATLE

A sweeping, uplifting story of how a boy from Brixton and a girl from Lagos escape their dark past and find themselves a bright future

1981, and England looks forward to a new decade. But on the streets of Brixton, it´s hard to hold onto your optimism, especially if you are a young black man. Racial tensions rumble, and now Michael Watson might land in jail for a crime he did not commit.

Thousands of miles away, village girl Ngozi abandons her orange stall for the chance to work as a maid. Alone in a big city, Ngozi´s fortunes turn dark and soon both her heart and her hopes are shattered.

From dusty roads to gritty pavements, Ngozi and Michael´s journey towards a better life is strewn with heartache and injustice . When they finally collide, their lives will be transformed for ever.

With irresistible joy and grace, Rosanna Amaka tells of people moving between worlds, and asks how we can heal and rescue one another. Humming with beauty and horror, tragedy and triumph, THE BOOK OF ECHOES is a powerful debut from an authentic new voice in British fiction.
