Where Women are Kings: from the author of The Language of Kindness

Christie Watson

1 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

A story of family, belonging and love from the Costa-winning author of TINY SUNBIRDS FAR AWAY.

Elijah, seven years old, is covered in scars and has a history of disruptive behaviour. His adoptive mother Nikki believes that she and her husband Obi are strong enough to accept his difficulties - and that being white will not affect her ability to raise a black son.

Elijah's birth mother Deborah loves her son like the world has never known. Elijah thinks it's his fault they can't be together.

Each of them faces more challenges than they could have dreamed, but just as Elijah starts to settle in, a shocking event rocks their fragile peace and the result is devastating.
