Winner of the Children's Africana Book Awards 2024, Observer Best Books of 2023, Irish Times Best Books of 2023, and Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week, this remarkable YA novel delves into the complexities of family love, loss, and the life lived between two cultures. Written by an astonishingly stylish and talented new voice, the story follows Mati and her two siblings as they travel from London to Zimbabwe with their father. Along for the journey is Meticais, a gender-neutral spirit or ghost, imaginary friend, or some other enigmatic presence that only Mati can see and communicate with. Guided by Meticais's enigmatic advice and wisdom, Mati must navigate the depths of grief and the challenges of living a life between two cultures, while her family learns to adapt and thrive in a world without their beloved mother. This is a distinctive, stylish, and powerful piece of writing by a vital new voice in the literary world.
