'A moving exploration of family, migration, class, queerness and belonging... beautifully rendered' JESSICA ANDREWS'A deeply observant, perceptive writer' JOANNA CANNON'Warm, engrossing, deeply moving. I loved these characters' HOLLY BRICKLEY'Masterful... It will stay with you long after you finish it' JJ BOLA

'Love was a tightrope between freedom and control. He didn't know how others seemed to walk it with ease'Elom can't make sense of love. It's like a language he can't speak, though he's heard the words before.

He wants to feel understood - by his well-meaning yet misapprehending family, his self-assured partner Ben, and his boisterous friends - but he never knows the right thing to say.

How can you know yourself, in a world that's constantly changing?

Set across Ghana and Scotland, this is an intimate portrait of one man's search for belonging, a family's attempt to love, and the choices that make a life.
