      About This Book

      WINNER OF THE SI LEEDS READER'S CHOICE AWARD 2022. FROM THE WOMEN'S PRIZE LONGLISTED AUTHOR OF 'STRANGE MUSIC'.
      When Koliwe leaves England for a new job in overseas aid in Eswatini, formerly the Kingdom of Swaziland, she encounters a world of clashing beliefs, wealthy ex-pats and sexual predators. As she uncovers the corruption at the heart of the aid community, she is forced to reassess her own identity and confront those who seek to undermine her.

      A compelling story of exploitation and cultural collision...

      'So many jewels in this book, miniature specifics...Every page rings with authenticity.' - Monique Roffey, Costa Award Winner

      'Fish is a talented and skilful writer who deserves serious attention and a wide readership.' - Sharon Duggal
