Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
London, 1978. Yamaye, a woman in her 20s unsure of who she is, but with dreams of being a DJ and MC. Yamaye lives for the weekend, when she can go raving with her friends at The Crypt, an underground club in the industrial town on the outskirts of London where she was born and raised.
Everything changes when she falls deeply in love with Moose: he offers the chance of freedom and change. When their relationship is cut brutally short, Yamaye goes on a dramatic journey of transformation that takes her first to Bristol, where she gets caught up in a criminal gang, and then to Jamaica, where past and present collide with devastating consequences.
Commentaires
"I was blown away by Fire Rush - an exceptional and stunningly original novel by a major new writer...her mesmerising, imaginative and incantatory writing leaves us swaying to the bass of the visceral rhythms she so powerfully describes. By the end of the novel, I felt charged and changed and already longed to re-read it." (Bernardine Evaristo, Booker Prize-winning author of Girl, Woman, Other)
"This beautiful, sprawling narrative is wrought with an incredible precision and a musicality which carries every sentence. Crooks' novel haunts but make space for hope as well." (Caleb Azumah Nelson, author of Open Water)
"A brilliant, exuberant novel. Full of beauty, musicality and feminist power." (Irenosen Okojie, author of Nudibranch)
