SAFIYA SINCLAIR, GUARDIAN
The author of the Hawthornden Prize-winning novel An Olive Grove in Ends, presents a powerful tale of shattered dreams and divided loyalties.
Bristol, 1980.
In the close-knit community of St. Pauls, Jabari, aged 14, holds the esteemed position of being the sole son of revered community leader Ras Levi. Raised in a world of systemic laws and council neglect, Jabari finds solace in his Rastafari faith, which promises a future of freedom from oppression and prejudice.
However, in St. Pauls, a local firebrand activist has been arrested, and violence erupts, engulfing both father and son in its tumultuous wake. As Jabari unleashes his rage against the injustice, a chance encounter with a young Black child presents him with a chance for justice—or is it revenge?
