Before We Hit the Ground

Meer over het boek

'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.
