Adaora Nwandu

A coming of age story of a teenage girl bound from birth to a higher calling, but as the traditional ceremony looms she struggles to choose between her destiny and the freedom she yearns.

Raymond and Tagbo met when they were eight. Although from radically different worlds— Raymond/Rag is from a single-parent West Indian home, while Tagbo/Tag is the only son of middle-class Nigerian parents— they remain inseparable until the cusp of their teens. Social Services take Rag from London. Ten years later, Rag returns to find Tag. They still want to be together. But now twenty-three, their need has shifted into something more urgent and consuming.

A contemporary Black British gay love story set amidst a gritty grimy urban backdrop of 'street' reality.
