What makes a family? This ambitious novel has an innovative experimental structure, including intertextual play, song lyrics, rap and slang, with the emphasis on character rather than plot. It’s a transformative style of storytelling which gives a fresh spin on topical themes of multiculturalism, race, me-too, and white privilege, guaranteed to challenge your expectations - if not your perceptions.
