Follows the interconnected stories of twelve black British women. Some old - Hattie, some young -Yazz. Some gay - Dominique, some straight - Shirley. Some rich - Carole and some poor - well Carole's youth and her mother - a cleaner in Peckham.
Their lives connect through friendhip, lovers and blood relations. Themes of feminism and being a black woman in a society dominated largely by white Britsh men, run throughout the novel.
I really enjoyed it.
