From the author of Patsy

The stunning third novel from the author of Patsy and Here Comes the Sun

'Nicole Dennis-Benn is a treasure' Nikesh Shukla, author of The One Who Wrote Destiny

Faye and her family live in the Jamaican village founded by her ancestors, cotched on the hip of the island's Blue Mountain. Growing up, she is surrounded by tales of her formidable relatives who defied the colonial authorities, raided plantations and led enslaved men and women to freedom in Cherry Village.

Everyone expects Faye to follow in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, who farm coffee on land bequeathed to them by their ancestors. But Faye doesn't see herself as a farmer. More than anything, she longs for independence. 

When a chance meeting offers Faye the opportunity to leave Jamaica, she jumps at the chance. But when the seductive glamour of international travel and A-list parties begins to fade, she finds herself pulled back to Jamaica, and to the dark alternative history of Cherry Village. Is she ready to accept her past, in order to embrace a future of her own?
